Speranza Doubles; "MLS20" Busts One; Ponakovs Departs

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

Austria's "MLS20" eventually claimed the chips of "gambol_time" when he called the open-shove with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and was shown the {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. The board came {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts} to improve the player from Austria to a straight.

Gianluca "Tankanza" Speranza then doubled his short stack with {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} out of the small blind when Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs looked him up with the {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Nothing changed on a {k-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} board.

Shortly after, Ponakovs was involved in the action again and at risk with a dominated pair when he three-bet shoved out of the big blind into the initial raise of Rui "RuiNF" Ferreira in the small blind.

Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Rui "RuiNF" Ferreira: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Board: {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Ponakovs picked up a gutshot on the turn but missed and headed to the rail.
