Gonzalez Shows a Semi-Bluff
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Kamal Gonzalez opened to 6,000 from under the gun and was called by Markkos Ladev on the button. Aleksejs Ponakovs then squeezed to 26,000 from the small blind, which got a call from Gonzalez and a fold from Ladev.
Ponakovs continued for 20,000 on the Q♣9♦7♠ flop and Gonzalez immediately shoved for 188,000 total.
Ponakovs went deep into the tank, using up five time extensions before deciding to lay his hand down.
Gonzalez was asked to show one card by a tablemate and he turned over J♥10♦ before collecting the pot.
At another table, Jeremie Zouari was eliminated.
