Danchev Has the Goods
Level 11
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
The pot stood at approximately 49,000 with two players looking at a board that read Q♠Q♥2♦5♥.
Dimitar Danchev, who was under the gun, checked the action to Aleksejs Ponakovs, in the hijack. Ponakovs bet out 33,000 and Danchev made the call.
The 10♥ river checked to a showdown. Danchev was first to show as he tabled Q♣J♣. Trip queens were more than good enough to send Ponakovs' cards into the muck.
