Ponakovs Nearly Qaudruples
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
David Tous raised to 125,00 from the hijack and was called by Mathias Siljander in the cutoff. Aleksejs Ponakovs then jammed his final 345,000 chips in the middle from the small blind and Hans Erlandsson called from the big blind.
Tous rejammed for 1,725,000 chips and that forced a heads up showdown as both Siljander and Erlandsson got out of the way.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: K♥Q♠
David Tous: 8♥8♣
Ponakovs paired up on the 2♣Q♥2♠ flop, and no eights appeared on the 4♠J♥ runout, seeing him end up with almost four times as many chips than he started with
