Ponakovs and Beresford Chop Up Thorel

Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Conor Beresford raised to 2,500 on the button and was called by Aleksejs Ponakovs and Jean-Noel Thorel in the blinds. The flop fell {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and the action checked around to the {6-Spades} on the turn.

Thorel was the first to take a stab at the pot with a bet of 3,500. Beresford called and Ponakovs check-raised to 11,000. Thorel and Beresford both called to see the {10-Diamonds} on the river.

Ponakovs led out with a small bet of 4,000 which got Thorel to fold. Beresford quickly called and Ponakovs tabled {a-Spades}{4-Spades} for two pair. Beresford shoed {a-Clubs}{5-Spades} and the two players chopped up the pot.
