Ponakovs Bluffs Big
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Gha Iakobishvili and Aleksejs Ponakovs had arrived heads-up on the river. The board read 7♦4♠Q♣10♣K♦ and Iakobisvishili checked from the big blind. Ponakovs then made a bet of 39,000 from the button, in a pot of roughly the same size.
Iakobishvili asked the dealer the confirm the amount before putting in the call.
Ponakovs declared "ace-high" and showed his A♦3♦. Iakobishvili could easily beat that with Q♥10♥ for two pair and raked in another pot.
