Ponakov Mucks the End
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Aleksey Ponakov checked from the small blind with a massive pot of over 500,000 in the middle between he and Marius Gierse. The board read , and Gierse asked to see his opponent's stack before announcing all in. It was a bet to put Ponakov at risk for about 375,000, and he sighed and folded after a couple of minutes.
"What hands can you tank with there?" Martin Kabrhel asked.
Someone suggested pocket eights, and Kabrhel said that would be a snap-call.
