Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Komil Khamidov opened to 3,500 and Nikolay Ponomarev three-bet all in from the next position for 23,500.
Patrik Jaros four-bet all in for 28,500 from the next position and it folded to Eros Calderone in the big blind who five-bet all in for over 140,000.
Khamidov opted to fold and all the cards were turned over.
Nikolay Ponomarev: 8♣8♥ 
Patrik Jaros: A♣K♠
Eros Calderone: A♦K♥
Jaros and Calderone had each other's outs, with Ponomarev in good shape to triple up. The flop Q♥Q♦2♦ had Calderone calling for diamonds, while the 9♠ turn had him calling for a nine as well to counterfeit Ponomarev.
The river was the 3♥ and Ponomarev chipped up to just under average which currently stands at 83,000.
