Ponakovs Flips Out Zukowicz
Level 11
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ben Heath opened in middle position and Isaac Haxton called in the cutoff before Monika Zukowicz three-bet jammed a stack of about 505,000 in the small blind.
Aleksejs Ponakovs then four-bet shoved a stack of around 1,600,000 in the big blind. Heath folded and Haxton used a time extension before folding.
Monika Zukowicz: 8♣8♦ 
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♠K♥
"I almost want to close my eyes," Zukowicz said as she flipped in the biggest spot of her career. Unfortunately for the streamer, the flop landed K♦3♣7♦ to give Ponakovs a big lead as the board finished out A♥3♦ to mark Zukowicz' elimination.
