Ponakovs Bluffs Off His Second Stack

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs

Aleksejs Ponakovs and Juan Pardo had put 49,000 chips in the middle when they saw a flop of 58J. Ponakovs bet out for 19,000 from the small blind and Pardo called from the cutoff.

Ponakovs spent a few time banks before putting in another 65,000 chips on the 8 turn and Pardo once again made the call. The 10 river then completed the board and Ponakovs used the rest of his time bank extensions before moving all in for 130,000, receiving an instant call from his opponent.

Ponakovs sighed as he could only table KQ for a bluff, while Pardo rivered a straight with 97 and sent his opponent out of the tournament room again.
