One Pair is Good for Ponakovs

Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer raised to 16,000 in the cutoff and Aleksejs Ponakovs defended from the big blind. The flop fell and Ponakovs checked to O'Dwyer who continued with a bet of 11,000. Ponakovs check-raised to 36,000 and O'Dwyer three-bet to 68,000. Ponakovs just called and the
landed on the turn.
That slowed the action as both players checked to the on the river. Ponakovs checked again and O'Dwyer used a time bank before checking it back. Ponakovs showed
for a pair of kings and O'Dwyer sent his cards to the muck.
