Ponakovs Loses Flip and Busts to Martirosian
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action folded around to Artur Martirosian, who pushed 475,000 into the middle, an effective all-in against the blinds' stacks. Aleksejs Ponakovs made the call in the small blind and the big blind folded. Players flipped their cards.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 5?5?
Artur Martirosian: Q?9?
The board ran out 6?8?3?2?9?. Ponakovs remained ahead with his pocket fives until the river brought Martirosian a pair of nines to give him the pot.
Ponakovs was eliminated in seventh place. With that, the money bubble began.
