Level 29 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Pedro Padilha opened from the hijack to 1,200,000, and when it folded to Aleksejs Ponakovs on the button he three-bet to 5,000,000., leaving just 700,000 behind. Ye Wang decided to cold call on the button, which got Padilha to fold and leave the players heads up.

The flop came 6♥3♦8♥ and Wang lead out for Ponakovs last 700,000, which he snap called.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♠A♣ All in
Ye Wang: A♥Q♦

Ponakovs had rockets and was able to get a massive double up after the 5♠9♥ runout.
