Ponakovs Flops Quads

Level 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs

Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 7,000 in early position and Dan Smith called on the button to get the hand heads-up.

Ponakovs continued for 7,000 on the flop of {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Smith called. Ponakovs then checked on the {a-Spades} turn and Smith checked back.

The {q-Hearts} river completed the board and Ponakovs again checked. Smith bet 20,000 and his opponent check-raised to 110,000. After some deliberation, Smith called.

Ponakovs tabled the stone nuts with {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for quads and Smith quietly mucked.
