Ponakovs Doubles Though Hansen
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Sindre Hansen opened to 40,000 on the button and Aleksejs Ponakovs three-bet to 200,000 from the big blind, leaving himself just 35,000 behind. Hansen just called.
Ponakovs checked to Hansen on the J?8?7? flop and he bet enough to put Ponakovs all in. Ponakovs quickly called and hands were turned face up.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A?8?
Sindre Hansen: A?6?
Ponakovs had way the best of it with his pair of eights. The 4? turn gave Hansen a sweat with a gutshot straight draw, but the 7? river bricked out and Ponakovs doubled his stack.
