Aleksejs Ponakovs Eliminated In 10th Place ($96,986)
Niveau 20
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Darren Elias opened to 245,000 in the cutoff and on the button Ponakovs moved all in for 1,740,000 which saw Lewis Spencer in the big blind use two time banks before folding for roughly the same stack. Elias snap called and the cards were on their backs.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: K♥J♥
Darren Elias: A♠K♠
The flop of Q♠6♥2♦ gave Ponakovs a myriad of backdoor outs, which saw the turn A♥ eliminated Ponakovs pair outs, leaving him with a flush draw and straight draw. The river 3♣ did not improve Ponakovs and the bracelet winner exited the tournament just shy of the final table.
The final nine players have taken their seats for the final table.
