Ponakovs Takes a "Weird Hand" on the River
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 4,000 under the gun and was called by Juan Pardo in the cutoff, as well as Mikita Badziakouski on the button.
The flop came 4♦4♥10♦ and Ponakovs continued for 3,000. Pardo folded, but Badziakouski called to the 6♥ turn.
Both players checked and the A♣ fell on the river. Ponakovs then fired out 20,000 and Badziakouski gave the decision some thought before mucking.
"Such a weird hand," Badziakouski said as Ponakovs raked in the pot
