Ponakovs Continues to Frustrate Haxton
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 3,000 from the small blind, and Isaac Haxton defended his big blind to see the A♠8♦2♦ flop. Both players opted to check through to the turn, which brought in the 9♦. Ponokovs bet 6,500 and Haxton wasted little time in calling.
The 3♠ completed the board, and Ponakovs bet 33,000 into a pot of 19,000.
"Thirty-three?" questioned Haxton, as he seemed surprised by his opponent's sizing. He decided to fold after some moments and let out an audible sigh shortly after. The pair played a hand against each other in Level 1 where Ponokovs first folded out Haxton on the river.
