Watson Takes From Ponakovs Blind on Blind
Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action folded to the small blind Aleksejs Ponakovs who limped in, and the big blind Mike Watson checked his option.
Both players checked the 9♣Q♦2♥ flop, which brought the 8♦ on the turn. Watson then called a bet of 4,500 from Ponakovs.
The river was the 7♦ and Ponakovs check-called a bet of 8,500 from Watson, who tabled Q♠3♠ for a pair of queens. Ponakovs quickly mucked his hand, giving the pot to Watson.
