Nikolay Ponomarev: Ax2x/6♦4♥J♥10♥/Xx
Jon Turner: XxXx/9♣6♣J♣7♠ -- folded sixth street

Jon Turner completed and Yuval Bronshtein raised. Joey Couden then three-bet all in for less with Nikolay Ponomarev calling and Turner committing the extra few chips as well.

Action checked through fourth street to fifth street where Bronshtein led out. Both Turner and Ponomarev called.

Sixth street saw Bronshtein bet again. Ponomarev called once more while Turner chose to get out of the way.

No more money went into the pot on the river. Couden managed to take the low half of the pot to survive while Bronshtein's aces up were sufficient to win the high.

Daniel Blum had been left short by Jon Turner in a three-way hand that also involved Joey Couden. A couple of hands later, Blum found himself all in and at risk against Nikolay Ponomarev.

At the neighboring table, James Cheung was also all in. With a pay jump on the line, play slowed down a bit but Cheung ended up chopping the pot to survive. Blum, on the other hand, was not so fortunate as Ponomarev scooped him holding trip nines to send Blum to the payout desk in 16th place.

Action saw players check around to Blum who bet and Couden called. Turner raised and both Blum and Couden called.

On seventh street, action checked through with Turner turning over A♣6♥3♦ for trip treys and it was good for the pot to send Turner into the chip lead and leave Couden and Blum short.
