Shahar Doubles Through Ponomarev
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Mihai Niste, Ionel Tanase and Jani Tuomaala have been eliminated, Ran Shahar avoided that fate and doubled through Nikolay Ponomarev.
Gilles Huet had opened to 9,000 and Shahar called in the cutoff, Ponomarev then raised to 33,000 on the button and was called only by Shahar. On the 
flop, Shahar check-shoved for 118,000 into a bet of 23,000 by Ponomarev, who made the call.
Ran Shahar: 
Nikolay Ponomarev: 
The 
turn and the 
river were blanks and Ponomarev had to forfeit a big portion of his stack.
