Flop Saves Arends
Level 13
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Seeing a raise ahead of him from Aleksejs Ponakovs in the hijack, Jans Arends moved all in from the cutoff for 775,000. The action returned to Ponakovs, who called.
Jans Arends: A♥J♠
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦K♥
It was not the situation that Arends would have been hoping for, but the J♥5♣10♣10♠2♦ board came to his rescue, doubling him up.
