Ponakovs Extends Lead
Level 23
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 130,000 from the button, and was faced with a three-bet to 300,000 by Marcelo Bonanata, with Ponakovs making the call.
On the A♦Q♠4♦ flop, Bonanata led out with a bet of 300,000, receiving a call from Ponakovs.
The Q♦ rolled off on the turn to pair the board and bring potential flushes, and Bonanata check-called a bet of 350,000 from Ponakovs.
The 2♦ river was checked through. Bonanata showed A♥K♣ for two pair, aces and queens, but Ponakovs had J♠10♦ and took the pot, having rivered the flush.
