Aleksejs Ponakovs

A three-way all-in had just taken place preflop on Table 81, with Charles Thomas holding the chance to bust both Aleksejs Ponakovs and Frank Funaro.

Frank Funaro: Q♣Q♦ All in
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦A♣ All in
Charles Thomas: 10♦10♥

Ponakovs woke up with the best hand and had both opponents drawing dead by the turn on the J♦6♥A♥5♦8♥ runout with a set.

Ponakovs climbed to around 300,000 in chips, while Funaro hit the rail.
