Aleksejs Ponakovs raised from under the gun with 9♠9♣, before Kannapong Thanarattrakul three-bet to 325,000 from middle position. It then folded to Sinan Unlu in the small blind, and he four-bet all in for his stack of 2,940,000. Once the big blind folded, Ponakovs folded as well, and Thanarattrakul made the call to put Unlu at risk.
Sinan Unlu: A♦K♥
Kannapong Thanarattrakul: K♦K♣
It was a cooler for Unlu, who jammed into the pocket kings of Thanarattrakul. However, the J♦10♥Q♦ flop turned things around quickly, as Unlu flopped the nuts with a Broadway straight. The J♣ on the turn gave Thanarattrakul an out to win the pot, to go along with his chop outs. But the 7♦ on the river was no help, and Unlu secured a massive double up.
