Ponomarev's Kings Hold
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a 7♣7♥5♣ flop, Nikolay Ponomarev made a continuation bet of 12,000 from middle position. In the small blind, Dawid Smolka check-raised to 40,000. But Ponomarev wasn't done yet, and he raised again to 80,000. After that, Smolka moved all in for 170,000 chips, and Ponomarev called.
Dawid Smolka: 8♥8♠
Nikolay Ponomarev: K♥K♣
Ponomarev needed to avoid eights. And that’s what happened with the turn 6♦ and the river 3♣, which led to Smolka’s elimination.
