Roller Coaster for Poonhath
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Rajeev Poonhath had lost a big portion of his stack fo Hennie Appel early on and was then all-in with a short stack of only 51,000 against Christopher Dean. His A?6? needed help against 9?9? and the Q?10?6?3?2? board delivered the double via flush.
In a battle of the blinds with SM soon after, both made two pair to the J?7?2?6? turn. The 6?2? of Poonhath in the big blind were in trouble against J?7? and the 4? river confirmed the double for the Sultan of Swings.
