Ponakovs' Top Pair is Enough
Level 5
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski raised to 23,000 from under the gun and was called by Bryn Kenney on the button and Christoph Vogelsang in the small blind. Aleksejs Ponakovs re-raised to 100,000 from the big blind and only Vogelsang called.
The flop fell 
and Vogelsang check-called a bet of 35,000 from Ponakovs. The turn was the 
which slowed the action as both players checked to the 
on the river. Two more checks and Vogelsang showed 
while Ponakovs held 
for two pair to win the pot.
