Ace on the Turn Eliminates Ponakovs

Level 18 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs
Aleksejs Ponakovs

Aleksejs Ponakovs was down to just over six big blinds and he shoved all in for 980,000 in the cutoff. Sam Soverel was in the big blind and verified the count before calling.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Sam Soverel: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Ponakovs held the lead with his pocket sixes but Soverel picked up some more outs. The {a-Clubs} on the turn was one of them as Soverel improved to a pair of aces. The {9-Spades} on the river was not what Ponakovs needed and he headed to the exit.
