Nível 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs has open-shoved before the flop three times within the last orbit as the shorter stacks at the table were unwilling to put their tournament lives at stake, allowing Ponakovs to add to his lead without seeing a flop.

Markkos Ladev then raised to 65,000 under the gun and Ren Lin moved all in for 345,000 in middle position. Ponakovs gave it some thought before folding, while Ladev also mucked.

"Touchdown baby. I know how to play poker now. All in, it's easy," Lin said.

"What this table needs is some honest play, because nobody ever has jack shit except this guy with aces," Kayhan Mokri said, pointing to Ponakovs.

Kayhan Mokri opened to 60,000 in middle position as action went on Markkos Ladev on the button. He attempted to raise to 80,000 before the dealer informed him he had to make it at least 90,000. Mokri called and they went heads up to the 8♥3♥2♥ flop.

Ladev continued for 30,000 and Mokri raised to 75,000. Ladev called to the 8♣ turn, where Mokri bet another 145,000. Ladev quickly folded this time.

"I saw him looking at my open so I was little confused," Mokri said as he took the pot.

Juan Pardo raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Aleksejs Ponakovs three-bet to 145,000 in the small blind. Pardo then moved all in and Ponakovs snap-called for 608,000.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♣A♠ All in
Juan Pardo: 7♠7♣

"Your favorite hand," Teun Mulder said to Ponakovs, who showed down aces in an all-in pot for the second time at the final table. The board ran out 8♥2♠8♦A♠K♥ and Ponakovs finished with a full house to double up into the chip lead.

Teun Mulder raised to 75,000 in the cutoff, leaving just 20,000 behind, and Juan Pardo called on the button.

The flop came A♠5♥5♦ and Mulder checked to Pardo who bet. Mulder then tossed in his last chips.

Teun Mulder: 4♦4♣ All in
Juan Pardo: A♣K♣

Mulder was at serious risk of being eliminated on the bubble as Pardo showed down two pair. The turn was the 3♥, but the 2♥ river gave Mulder a straight and a miraculous double up.

Ladev shoved on the button the next hand and both Ren Lin and Teun Mulder folded in the blinds.

"I don't care about $60K, so don't go raising my big blind," Kayhan Mokri said to Juan Pardo as action folded around to the button. Pardo then raised to 50,000 and Konstantin Voronin moved all in for 370,000 in the small blind. Kayhan Mokri reshoved and Pardo folded.

Konstantin Voronin: 10♣10♥ All in
Kayhan Mokri: K♠K♣

Mokri had woken up with kings and Voronin couldn't catch up on the 8♦2♠2♥6♦7♦ board as he was sent to the rail in eighth place.

The remaining seven players are on the money bubble.
