Ponomarev Flops Nut Flush, Busts Stoyanov

Nikolay Ponomarev raised from middle position and picked up calls from Nina Krasilnikova, the player in the small blind and Radoslav Stoyanov in the big blind.

The flop came 9♣3♣6♣. Stoyanov checked and Ponomarev bet 11,000. Only Stoyanov called.

The turn was the 4♥. Stoyanov checked again and Ponomarev bet 36,000, which Stoyanov called.

The river came the 9♦. Stoyanov checked again and Ponomarev pushed a stack of blues into the middle, an effective all in for the rest of his opponent's stack. Stoyanov made the call.

Stoyanov showed A♠9♠ for trip nines and Ponomarev showed A♣2♣ for the flopped nut flush. He won the pot and chipped up to nearly 450,000, claiming Stoyanov's bounty token in the process.
