Ponakovs's Pants Stay Clean for Now

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Bin Weng
Bin Weng

Heads-up to the 1095A turn, Bin Weng checked in the big blind and Aleksejs Ponakovs bet 45,000 on the button. Weng then check-raised to 191,000 and Ponakovs reluctantly called.

They ended up checking the 6 on the river and Weng tabled the K3 for the missed nut flush draw. Ponakovs won the pot with AQ and as he raked in the pot, the Latvian joked "if you go all-in, I shit my pants".

"Double Up Guy" Dato Wins Small Pot

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Another player joked about European players and Andrea Dato replied "I don't know, I am just the double-up guy. I go all-in preflop."

Danielle Andersen raised the next hand to 21,000 and Dato flat-called from the small blind. They checked all the way on the Q9482 runout and Dato's 66 won the pot.

Kimpel's Snowmen Defeat the Ducks

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Alexander Kimpel opened from the hijack to 20,000 and the small blind three-bet to 50,000. Once the blinds folded, Kimpel then shoved for 216,000, and the small blind quickly called.

Alexander Kimpel: 88 All in
Small Blind: 22

Kimpel's snowmen held up on the A9AJ7 board which meant he doubled up and now has a stack of just under the half million milestone.

Kuzin for a Bruisin'

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A middle position player opened and Dmitrii Kuzin three-bet jammed a stack of around 330,000 from the small blind. His opponent called with a bigger stack.

Dmitrii Kuzin: KQ All in
Middle Position: 99

There were a rollercoaster of emotions for both players as the dealer fanned the 10Q9 flop, which at first appeared to give Kuzin the lead before revealing a set for his opponent. However the 3 turn gave Kuzin a flush and the A river failed to pair the board to earn him a double.

Ding Applies Max Pressure to Aldemir

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Koray Aldemir bet 36,000 from the hijack on a flop of 8102 and Biao Ding came back with a raise to 100,000 in the big blind.

Aldemir called and the J fell on the turn. Ding then bet 90,000 and Aldemir called.

The river was the 10 and Ding moved all in. Aldemir ripped off his sunglasses and buried his face in his hands as he considered the decision for his last 470,000 for several minutes. He eventually folded and Ding allowed him to choose one of his cards. Aldemir pointed at one of them and Ding flipped over the 8 as he took the pot.
