Ponakovs Gets After It Early
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Adrian Mateos opened to 5,000 in early position and Aleksejs Ponakovs called from the big blind. The flop came 7♥3♣2♠ and Ponakovs checked to Mateos who continued with a bet of 8,000. Ponakovs check-raised to 20,000 but Mateos still called.
The turn brought the K♠ and Ponakovs fired out another bet of 55,000. Mateos stuck around for the 7♦ on the river and both players tapped the table. Ponakovs tabled A♦4♠ for ace-high while Mateos hit a pair of kings with K♣10♥.
