Ponakovs Falls to Kisacikoglu
Level 9
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu opened the button before Aleksejs Ponakovs jammed for 290,000 from the small blind. Kisacikoglu called.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦9♦
Orpen Kisacikoglu: Q♣10♣
Ponakovs was the slight favorite to double as the J♥10♠9♣ flop gave Kisacikoglu middle pair and an open-ender against the bottom pair of Ponnakovs. The 8♦ turn completed Kisacikoglu's straight as Ponakovs was only drawing to a chop, which did not come on the 2♥ river as he hit the rail.
