Czuczor's Conquest in Full Force
Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs and Marton Czuczor had created a 12,000 pot before the turn was dealt. When the action was caught, Ponakovs put out a bet of 12,500, for the slightest of overbets, on the A♦6♣Q♣J♣ board. Czuczor made the call and the players both checked the 10♦ river thereafter.
At showdown, Ponakovs showed a rivered two pair with J♠10♣, but Czuczor rivered a straight with his A♠K♦. By winning this pot, Czuczor is now playing over double the average stack.
