Wakil Tries to Finish Off Ponakovs
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
In a blind versus blind battle, Jamil Wakil and Aleksejs Ponakovs built a pot of around 85,000 as they went to the turn on a board of 6?A?5?10?. Ponakovs then bet 25,000 and Wakil called.
The river was the 4? and Ponakovs bet 27,000, leaving 1,000 behind. Wakil put in two 25,000 chips intending to raise but it was ruled he could only call as Ponakovs showed 9?2? for a flush. Wakil had Q?8? for a higher flush to win the pot and leave Ponakovs on fumes.
