Wakil Tries to Finish Off Ponakovs
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
In a blind versus blind battle, Jamil Wakil and Aleksejs Ponakovs built a pot of around 85,000 as they went to the turn on a board of 6♣A♣5♣10♠. Ponakovs then bet 25,000 and Wakil called.
The river was the 4♣ and Ponakovs bet 27,000, leaving 1,000 behind. Wakil put in two 25,000 chips intending to raise but it was ruled he could only call as Ponakovs showed 9♣2♥ for a flush. Wakil had Q♣8♣ for a higher flush to win the pot and leave Ponakovs on fumes.
