Ponakovs Can't Stop the Bleed
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
David Kaufmann raised 900,000 with A?10? from the small blind, and Aleksejs Ponakovs called from the big blind with 5?2?.
Both players connected on the A?A?2? flop, with Kaufmann's trip aces ahead. He bet 400,000 and was called.
The 7? turn left Ponakovs drawing dead, but he called another bet of 1,500,000 to leave him with just over 3,000,000. The 6? river completed the board and Kaufmann put his opponent all-in, but Ponakovs decided against the hero call and folded his hand.
