Ponakovs' Full House Gives Him a Huge Lead
Level 18
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
There was already 500,000 in the middle when Aleksejs Ponakovs made a bet of 370,000 from the big blind on a completed board of 2♥9♥7♥10♠9♣. Daniel Smiljkovic called fairly quickly and Ponakovs tabled 9♠2♦ for a rivered full house.
Smiljkovic mucked his cards and is now looking at a big chip deficit, only having nine big blinds at his disposal.
