Ponakovs Comes Out Ahead in Four-Way Pot
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Gha Iakobishvili raised the minimum of 5,000 chips from the hijack, and calls followed from Artur Martirosian in the cutoff, Kayhan Mokri in the small blind, and Aleksejs Ponakovs in the big blind.
The quartet went off to a flop of 2♥K♠7♣, which saw the action get checked to Iakobishvili, who continued for 7,500. Martirosian and Mokri then folded before Ponakovs made the call.
The 9♥ turn was checked by both remaining players before Ponakovs led for 27,000 on the 7♦ river. Iakobishvili spent one time bank extension before making the fold. Ponakovs raked in the pot and showed his 3♠2♠ to the friendly table.
