Hu Lasts One Hand as Ponakovs Remains an Aces Magnet
Niveau 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
During yesterday's $20,000 event, Aleksejs Ponakovs picked up aces twice at the final table to double up. He hasn't stopped picking them up today, and it recently resulted in the elimination of Zhewen Hu.
Ponakovs had a raise of 37,000 in front of him from the cutoff and Hu moved all in for 250,000 in the hijack. Ponakovs snap-called.
Zhewen Hu: A♦K♣ 
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♥A♣
"My first hand," Hu said after seeing he had run into Ponakovs' aces. The board ran out 7♥J♣4♦2♦10♦ and Hu was sent to the rail.
