Pardo, Ponakovs Double Again
Level 14
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mehdi Chaoui raised to 100,000 under the gun and Juan Pardo called for 88,000 in the cutoff.
Juan Pardo: A?J? 
Mehdi Chaoui: A?10?
Chaoui took the lead on the 10?7?8? flop with top pair, but the 9? turn gave Pardo a straight. The river was the 7? and Pardo doubled up.
"You're very good in the five-to-seven big blind range," Kayhan Mokri told him.
Aleksejs Ponakovs then moved all in for 35,000 on the button and Alexander Zubov called in the small blind.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A?J?
Alexander Zubov: 9?9?
Ponakovs hit top pair on the J?3?10? flop, while the rest of the board came 10?Q? and Ponakovs doubled up. "I'll say the same thing to you that I said to him," Mokri said to Ponakovs.
