Li Goes Runner-Runner to Beat Ponakovs
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With roughly 7,000 in the middle on a flop of A♠6♥6♠, Aleksejs Ponakovs was seated in early position and check-called a bet of 2,500 from Shankui Li.
Ponakovs checked the 3♥ turn, and Li bet 6,500. Ponakovs check-raised to 18,000, which Li called.
Ponakovs bet 70,000 when the 7♦ fell on the river. Li only had 71,000 in his stack and after going through two of his time bank cards, made the call.
Ponakovs turned over K♦6♦ for trip sixes on the flop, but he was behind to the rivered straight of Li with 5♥4♥.
