Klein Takes From Ponakovs; Spencer Collects the Rest
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Morten Klein opened to 13,000 second to act and Aleksejs Ponakovs called from the big blind. Ponakovs check-called for 13,000 on the Q?8?7? flop but folded to a bet of 46,000 on the 6? turn.
The following hand, Ponakovs was all-in and at risk for his last 103,000 from the small blind with Qx9x. Lewis Spencer, in the big blind, woke up with A?K?. Ponakovs failed to improve on the runout and became the first casualty of the day.
