flop. They both checked through the 
on the turn to the 
on the river. Bruschi checked for the final time but Ponakovs shoved for 71,958. Bruschi tanked for a while but called with the 
for two pair. Ponakovs tabled the 
for the higher ones to double up.
Bruschi was left with 8,804 which he first doubled up with with the
