Bonanata Pulls Ahead
Level 23
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Marcelo Bonanata limped in from the button and Aleksejs Ponakovs checked his big blind.
The 8♦10♠9♦ flop went check-check before Ponakovs fired a bet of 180,000 on the 3♠ turn. Bonanata called to the 3♣ river, where faced a bet of 460,000 from his opponent.
Bonanata then made a small raise to 1,000,000. Ponakovs spent two time banks but ultimately folded, seeing Bonanata retake the chip lead.
