Ponakovs Turns a Set to Double Up

Level 11 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action folded to Manuel Fritz on the button, and he raised to 16,000. It folded to Aleksejs Ponakovs in the big blind, and he three-bet all in for his stack of 279,000, which Fritz called.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: 55 All in
Manuel Fritz: AJ

Ponakovs was ahead, but the AK9 flop put Fritz in the lead with his pair of aces. However, the turn brought the 5 to leave Fritz drawing dead. The 6 came on the river, securing Ponakovs a double-up with his set of fives.
