Ponakovs Wins Multiway, Sitbon Eliminated

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Joao Simao opened to 6,500 in early position, and both Aleks Ponakovs on the button and Nick Petrangelo in the small blind called.

Both Petrangelo and Simao checked on the 10♦7♣K♥ flop before folding when Ponakovs opted to bet 9,000.

One table over, Julien Sitbon was the latest player to be eliminated.
