Kaufmann Survives a Massive Flip Against Ponakovs
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Action folded to David Kaufmann who limped in from the small blind. Aleksejs Ponakovs then raised to 210,000 and Kaufmann came back with a reraise to 650,000.
Ponakovs used three time banks before announcing a reraise to 1,090,000. Kaufmann then moved all in for 3,855,000 and Ponakovs called.
David Kaufmann: J♥J♠
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦K♣
The two players were racing with nearly 8,000,000 at stake as the 10♣7♠10♦ flop kept Kaufmann in the lead. The 4♣ turn was safe for Kaufmann, while he secured the double up on the 7♣ river to rocket near the top of the chip counts. Ponakovs, meanwhile, was left on an extreme short stack.
