Ponakovs Takes the Lead
Level 29
: 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante
The action started with a raise to 118,000 by Aleksejs Ponakovs in the hijack and Matthias Eibinger came along on the button. Seth Davies then three-bet to 436,000 in the small blind and Ponakovs called.
Eibinger used a portion of his time bank and folded. The flop brought 
and Davies checked to Ponakovs, who made it 216,000 to go. A reluctant call by Davies followed, who checked the 
turn once more. Ponakovs now bet 330,000 for one-fifth of the pot and Davies sent his cards into the muck.
