Heath Puts Ponakovs in the Blender
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 13,000 from the button, and Ben Heath defended his big blind. Heath check-called bets of 8,000 and 50,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to show 10♠10♥7♣4♦5♥. Heath checked once more on the river and Ponakovs bet 125,000, leaving 50,000 behind.
Heath used up a time bank before moving all in for 183,000 and after exhausting the remainder of his time banks, Ponakovs folded.
