Ponakovs Building on Bullet Two

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With around 36,000 in the middle, there was one player who was all in while Eelis Parssinen and Aleksejs Ponakovs were heads-up in a dry side pot. The flop came 754 and Parssinen checked to Ponakovs who bet 5,500. Parssinen folded and the two remaining hands were tabled.

Opponent: K4
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 99

The 7 on the turn and the A on the river were safe for Ponakovs whose pocket nines held up to win the pot.
