Covington Knocked Out by Ponakovs
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
UFC fighter Colby Covington and high roller Aleksejs Ponakovs had created a pot of 100,000 chips when they arrived on a turn of 2♠Q♦8♦9♠. After an unseen action from Ponakovs, Covington put out 125,000 chips.
Ponakovs then raised all in, covering Covington's stack of roughly 320,000 chips. Covington went into the tank but eventually slammed in a call for his tournament life.
Colby Covington: A♦Q♥ 
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 9♣2♣
The 3♥ river did not counterfeit Ponakov's two pair as Covington was sent to the rail.
