Ponakovs Continues to Roll Early
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With 13,000 in the pot and the board reading 
, Steve O'Dwyer checked over to Aleksejs Ponakovs, who used all 30 of his seconds before deciding on a bet of 6,500. O'Dwyer called.
On the 
river, Ponakovs once again used the full allotment of his time before settling on 23,000, roughly half of O'Dwyer's remaining stack. O'Dwyer quickly folded and Ponakovs took his stack to nearly a quarter of a million chips.
