Zlotnikov Rivers Ponakovs

Level 2 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Anatoly Zlotnikov raised to 7,000 from early position and received two calls. In the small blind, Aleksejs Ponakovs three-bet to 35,000 and only Zlotnikov called.

The flop rolled out J86 and Ponakovs continued for 35,000 to see Zlotnikov call.

On the turn 6, Ponakovs bet 55,000 and Zlotnikov called a second time.

Ponakovs moved all in on the river 5 for 96,000 and Zlotnikov snap-called.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: AA All in
Anatoly Zlotnikov: 55

Zlotnikov had rivered fives full of sixes to crack Ponakovs' aces and the WSOP bracelet winner exited the tournament.
