Ponakovs and Cheong Bow Out Before Second Break
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs jammed his final 27,000 all in from the cutoff and the action folded to Maher Nouira, who quickly called.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A?2?
Maher Nouira: 8?8?.
Ponakovs paired his deuce on the 2?Q?3? flop, but no further help arrived on the 10?Q? runout, and he was thus forced to take his leave.
On an adjacent table, Kyle Cheong was also seen collecting his belongings and heading towards the exit of the tournament room after losing the last of his remaining chips.
