Ponakovs Finds Another Barrel
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Action folded to David Kaufmann who limped in from the small blind with 5?5?. Aleksejs Ponakovs checked back J?7? and they saw a flop of 9?8?3?.
Both players checked and the 8? fell on the turn. Kaufmann checked again and Ponakovs bet 240,000. Kaufmann called.
The river was the 6? and Kaufmann checked for a third time. Ponakovs then bet 610,000. Kaufmann used a time bank as he tanked for nearly a minute before mucking his pair as Ponakovs took the pot with his jack-high bluff.
