Ponakovs Leads Himself Short
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Maher Nouira raised to 4,000 from the button and Aleksejs Ponakovs made the call from the big blind. The flop fell 6♣4♦9♣ and Ponakovs check-called an 8,000 continuation-bet from Nouira.
The 10♥ turn was dealt and Ponakovs took the initiative with a bet of 7,000. Nouira made the call before Ponakovs went into the tank on the 10♠ river.
After a few time bank extensions, Ponakovs settled on a bet of 13,000, which quickly got raised by Nouira to put Ponakovs all-in. The Latvian quickly folded and was left with only 32,000.
