Pontos Spikes Wheel to Survive

Stewart Morrison

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Panteleimon Pontos moved all in for 580,000, and Seamus Cahill called in the big blind, putting him at risk.

Panteleimon Pontos: A♣5♣ All in
Seamus Cahill: A♠K♥

Pontos found himself dominated, but the 9♣3♥2♠4♦3♠ board saw him improve to a straight, earning him a full double up.

At the same time, on a neighbouring table, Joerg Schneegass was eliminated.
