Ponakovs Has "Big Champion-Sized Balls"
Level 3
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A big pot formed between Aleksejs Ponakovs and Christoph Vogelsang that left the table cheering and ahhing at the end of it all.
The two players got to the river on a board of 4?10?10?5?2? with an array of blue 100,000-chips and green 25,000-chips already in the middle. Ponakovs bet around 540,000 with just a few chips behind and it was to force a fold from Vogelsang.
As the dealer pushed him the biggest pot of the day so far, Ponakovs tabled the 8? to bring roars from his tablemates.
"That was sick!" said Jason Koon. "Big balls. Big balls. Big champion-sized balls."
