Nikolay Ponomarev Eliminated in 12th Place ($16,822)
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 600,000 ante
Daniel Lowery opened to 600,000 and then Nikolay Ponomarev moved all in to his left. Lowery quickly made the call and the cards were tabled with Ponomarev at risk.
Nikolay Ponomarev: 8♠8♦
Daniel Lowery: A♣Q♠
"The ace always comes in the window," Someone on Lowery's rail said, and sure enough, the ace came right on the flop of A♠3♠J♥ for Lowery to take the lead.
The K♠ came on the turn and didn't change anything.
"Ten on the river for good measure!" The same railbird shouted, and crazily enough, the 10♣ smacked on the river to give Lowery a straight.
"That's why we keep her around!" Lowery laughed as he scooped in the pot while Ponomarev was sent to the rail in 12th place.
