Ponakovs Doubles Through Addamo

Level 4 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised it up in early position, taking over the seat from Jason Koon. Once again, Michael Addamo stuck in a three-bet to 42,000. Ponakovs responded by shipping all in for 351,000 which put Addamo in the tank but he eventually called.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Michael Addamo: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Ponakovs was in a dominating position and the flop of {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} put him well in front with a pair of kings. Addamo was looking for a straight but neither the {a-Spades} on the turn nor the {2-Spades} on the river could help him out.
