Ponomarev Almost Gets the Fold

Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The pot stood at around 24,000 with two players looking at a board of 10?J?A?2?.
Nikolay Ponomarev, in the big blind, bet out 9,000. Simas Karaliunas, in middle position, called.
The J? river saw Ponomarev empty the clip, moving all in for 10,400. Karaliunas went deep into the tank, thinking for some time before making a reluctant call.
Nikolay Ponomarev: 9?7?
Simas Karaliunas: A?10?
Karaliunas' two pair were best and Ponomarev was sent to the rail.
