Ponakovs Extends Lead
Level 23
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 130,000 from the button, and was faced with a three-bet to 300,000 by Marcelo Bonanata, with Ponakovs making the call.
On the A?Q?4? flop, Bonanata led out with a bet of 300,000, receiving a call from Ponakovs.
The Q? rolled off on the turn to pair the board and bring potential flushes, and Bonanata check-called a bet of 350,000 from Ponakovs.
The 2? river was checked through. Bonanata showed A?K? for two pair, aces and queens, but Ponakovs had J?10? and took the pot, having rivered the flush.
