Ponakovs Takes a "Weird Hand" on the River
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 4,000 under the gun and was called by Juan Pardo in the cutoff, as well as Mikita Badziakouski on the button.
The flop came 4?4?10? and Ponakovs continued for 3,000. Pardo folded, but Badziakouski called to the 6? turn.
Both players checked and the A? fell on the river. Ponakovs then fired out 20,000 and Badziakouski gave the decision some thought before mucking.
"Such a weird hand," Badziakouski said as Ponakovs raked in the pot
