Ponakovs Gets Away with a Big Bet

Level 2 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 15,000 on the button and Chris Hunichen defended from the big blind. The flop came QQ10 and Hunichen check-called a bet of 10,000 from Ponakovs.

The turn brought the 6 and Hunichen checked again. Ponakovs sized up a large bet of 125,000 this time and Hunichen dumped his cards to the muck, accidentally flashing the 6.

"Pair and a flush draw?!" Sean Winter exclaimed. "Wow."
