Ponakovs Binks a Double
Level 13
: 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs min-raised from under the gun to get called only by Paul "Fold Machiii" Dando out of the big blind. The flop brought 
and Dando check-called a bet worth 45,375. Both players checked through the 
turn and the 
river completed a nine-high straight on the board.
Dando shipped it in with a massive overbet and Ponakovs called all-in for the 210,087 he had behind. The Latvian had the best of it throughout the entire hand with 
and caught Dando's move with 
to secure a double.
Kenneth "kenny05" Smaron and Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet were less fortunate to bow out in their last showdown hand.
