Kassam Doubles Through Ponakovs

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

In a three-bet pot to the AK8 flop with around 50,000 in the middle, Aleksejs Ponakovs checked. Rehman Kassam jammed for just 16,000 and Ponakovs reluctantly called.

Rehman Kassam: AKK10 All in
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 6655

"Oh, I am not dead," Ponakovs exclaimed and then instantly added "okay dead" when Kassam further improved with the A turn to make the J river a formality.
