Ten Haven Survives
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened 80,000 in the hijack, and Duco ten Haven three-bet to 525,000 next to act, leaving just 45,000 behind. The action quickly folded around to Ponakovs who announced all-in, and was called instantly.
Duco ten Haven: A♥K♠
Aleksejs Ponakovs: J♠J♥
The A♦3♠2♠ flop gave Ten Haven a pair of aces to take the lead, and the 5♥ turn missed both players but gave Ponakovs a chance to split the pot. The 9♦ however, was a brick and Ten Haven remained seated.
