Ponakovs Flattens Mulders
Joao Sydenstricker opened to 5,000, Aleksejs Ponakovs called, and action folded to Daan Mulders on the button.
He reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 18,000. Sydenstricker folded, but Ponakovs reached for more chips and produced a four-bet to 34,000.
The preflop action wasn't done there yet, as Mulders was not to be taken off his hand, reaching for chips and putting out a bet of 55,000. Ponakovs called.
On the 7?9?6? flop, Ponakovs moved all in and Mulders called off his remaining 55,000, with Mulders at risk.
Daan Mulders: Q?Q?
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A?J?
Mulders was ahead with his overpair of queens but Ponakovs had plenty of outs with his flush draw.
The 7? rolled off on the turn to complete Ponakovs' flush, leaving Mulders drawing to a queen, and that did not arrive on the 6? river, sending him to the exit.
