A Pair Of Double Ups
At one table Ryan O'Donnell raised to 120,000 in first position which saw action fold around to Aleksejs Ponakovs in the small blind who three bet to 425,000. O'Donnell moved all in for 2,115,000 effective and Ponakovs called.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: K♦K♠
Ryan O'Donnell: Q♠Q♥
The board ran out 8♣7♦6♦K♣5♠ and Ponakovs found the double up with his pocket kings.
At the other table, Espen Jorstad raised to 150,000 in late position which saw Elia Ahmadian call from the hijack. In the big blind, Darren Elias moved all in for 360,000 which saw Espen fold and Ahmadian call.
Darren Elias: A♣8♣
Elia Ahmadian: A♠J♥
The flop of J♣9♣2♣ saw Elias flop a flush and have Ahmadian drawing dead to running cards. The turn 3♣ saw no improvement and the river 7♠ was a mere formality as Elias found the double.
