Kaufmann Survives a Massive Flip Against Ponakovs
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Action folded to David Kaufmann who limped in from the small blind. Aleksejs Ponakovs then raised to 210,000 and Kaufmann came back with a reraise to 650,000.
Ponakovs used three time banks before announcing a reraise to 1,090,000. Kaufmann then moved all in for 3,855,000 and Ponakovs called.
David Kaufmann: J?J?
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A?K?
The two players were racing with nearly 8,000,000 at stake as the 10?7?10? flop kept Kaufmann in the lead. The 4? turn was safe for Kaufmann, while he secured the double up on the 7? river to rocket near the top of the chip counts. Ponakovs, meanwhile, was left on an extreme short stack.
