Nível 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs in the hijack opened to 5,000, then Adrian Mateos three-bet to 15,000 on the button. From the big blind, Gha Iakobishvili decided to raise all in for 90,000 chips. Ponakovs folded, but Mateos called.

Gha Iakobishvili: A♠K♦
Adrian Mateos: A♣K♣

Mateos had a flush draw on the flop J♥2♣9♣ to try to avoid a split. But the turn 8♥ and the river A♥ didn't bring the third club needed, so the pot was split.

Nível 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action folded to Sam Greenwood on the button and he made a raise to 6,000 chips. Aleksejs Ponakovs sat in the big blind and defended with a call.

The flop then came Q♦K♥Q♥ and Ponakovs checked to Greenwood, after which the latter put forth a bet of 4,000 chips. Ponkavos responded with a raise to 13,500. Greenwood stared at his time bank extensions but made the call before using one of them.

The K♦ turn double-paired the board and Ponakovs saw reason to slow down and check, and Greenwood checked behind. On the 5♥ river, Ponakovs picked up the aggression again with a bet of 20,000 and Greenwood made a swift call.

Ponakovs showed that he was playing the board with his 2♥2♣, while Greenwood called with A♦7♥ for the two pair on the board with an ace kicker.
