Ponakovs Gets After It Early
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Adrian Mateos opened to 5,000 in early position and Aleksejs Ponakovs called from the big blind. The flop came 7?3?2? and Ponakovs checked to Mateos who continued with a bet of 8,000. Ponakovs check-raised to 20,000 but Mateos still called.
The turn brought the K? and Ponakovs fired out another bet of 55,000. Mateos stuck around for the 7? on the river and both players tapped the table. Ponakovs tabled A?4? for ace-high while Mateos hit a pair of kings with K?10?.
