Lucky Double Up For Wittmeyer

Level 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brandon Wittmeyer opened to 25,000 from the cutoff and was called by Joao Vieira on the button. But in the big blind, Aleksejs Ponakovs decided to put pressure on his opponents and moved all in with one of the biggest stacks in the field.

Wittmeyer seemed to struggle to make a decision, but he eventually pushed all his chips into the middle, for a total of 460,000. Vieira quickly folded.

Brandon Wittmeyer: AK
Aleksejs Ponakovs: AK

After the flop J66 and the turn 5, Wittmeyer took his chips back, as if he thought the pot was going to split. But the 3 came on the river, giving him a flush. Thanks to this pot, he almost has 1,000,000 chips.
