Heath Continues to Shine; Ponakovs Folds to "Random Actions"
Niveau 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ben Heath opened to 48,000 in the small blind and was called by Kannapong Thanarattrakul in the big blind. The 
flop brought a bet worth 27,000 by Heath and Thanarattrakul instantly folded.
One hand later, Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 25,000 in the hijack. It folded to Jorryt van Hoof and the Dutchman moved all-in. Silently, without saying a word, Ponakovs talked through the combinations and settled on a fold.
"I play all-in or nothing ... lots of random actions," Van Hoof mentioned in table chat and Ponakovs replied "I remember".
