Larsen Leads River
Level 17
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nikolay Ponomarev opened from early position to 9,000. Action folded around to Birger Larsen who defended the big blind.
Larsen then checked the 7?J?K? flop to Ponomarev who fired a bet of 7,000. Larsen called. The 2? turn was checked around leading to the K? river. Larsen elected to lead out for 21,000. Ponomarev took a moment before making the call. Larsen tabled K?9? for trip kings and Ponomarev mucked.
