Ponakovs Has "Big Champion-Sized Balls"
Level 3
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A big pot formed between Aleksejs Ponakovs and Christoph Vogelsang that left the table cheering and ahhing at the end of it all.
The two players got to the river on a board of 4♠10♦10♣5♠2♣ with an array of blue 100,000-chips and green 25,000-chips already in the middle. Ponakovs bet around 540,000 with just a few chips behind and it was to force a fold from Vogelsang.
As the dealer pushed him the biggest pot of the day so far, Ponakovs tabled the 8♥ to bring roars from his tablemates.
"That was sick!" said Jason Koon. "Big balls. Big balls. Big champion-sized balls."
