Ponakovs Triples, Talvitie Out
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 4,000 from under the gun and Elias Talvitie three-bet to 15,000 from a couple of seats over. Kent Staahle flat-called from the small blind and Ponakovs four-bet shoved all in for 68,000. Talvitie also jammed all in for 190,000 and Staahle asked for a count before calling to put both players at risk.
Aleksejs Ponakovs:
Elias Talvitie:
Kent Staahle:
The board ran out and Ponakovs' aces held on for a triple up. Staahle managed to scoop the side pot and Talvitie was the first eliminated today.
