Ponakovs Leaves Chidwick on Crumbs

Level 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick raised it up in the cutoff and Aleksejs Ponakovs called from the big blind. The flop came {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Ponakovs checked to Chidwick who threw in a bet. Ponakovs check-raised to 22,000 and Chidwick called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and Ponakovs led out with a bet of 55,000. Chidwick still called and the {a-Hearts} completed the board. Ponakovs put together a bet of 87,000 and Chidwick flicked in a chip to call. Ponakovs tabled {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for trip queens and Chidwick mucked his hand, leaving himself with just six big blinds.
