Li Goes Runner-Runner to Beat Ponakovs
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With roughly 7,000 in the middle on a flop of A?6?6?, Aleksejs Ponakovs was seated in early position and check-called a bet of 2,500 from Shankui Li.
Ponakovs checked the 3? turn, and Li bet 6,500. Ponakovs check-raised to 18,000, which Li called.
Ponakovs bet 70,000 when the 7? fell on the river. Li only had 71,000 in his stack and after going through two of his time bank cards, made the call.
Ponakovs turned over K?6? for trip sixes on the flop, but he was behind to the rivered straight of Li with 5?4?.
