Klein Takes From Ponakovs; Spencer Collects the Rest
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Morten Klein opened to 13,000 second to act and Aleksejs Ponakovs called from the big blind. Ponakovs check-called for 13,000 on the Q♥8♣7♦ flop but folded to a bet of 46,000 on the 6♥ turn.
The following hand, Ponakovs was all-in and at risk for his last 103,000 from the small blind with Qx9x. Lewis Spencer, in the big blind, woke up with A♦K♣. Ponakovs failed to improve on the runout and became the first casualty of the day.
