Ponakovs In for Three
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs sat down with a fresh stack of 250,000 chips and used 6,000 of them to make an open-raise from the cutoff. Ognyan Dimov called from the button, as did Maher Nouira from the big blind.
The 6♠8♦Q♦ flop then checked through before Nouira led out for a sizable 28,000 on the 4♠ turn. Ponakovs sighed and folded, but Dimov stuck around with a call.
When the 10♠ river completed the board, both players checked again, leading Nouira to table 10♦9♥ and his rivered pair took down the pot.
