Ponakovs Finds Another Barrel
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Action folded to David Kaufmann who limped in from the small blind with 5♠5♦. Aleksejs Ponakovs checked back J♦7♠ and they saw a flop of 9♦8♣3♥.
Both players checked and the 8♠ fell on the turn. Kaufmann checked again and Ponakovs bet 240,000. Kaufmann called.
The river was the 6♠ and Kaufmann checked for a third time. Ponakovs then bet 610,000. Kaufmann used a time bank as he tanked for nearly a minute before mucking his pair as Ponakovs took the pot with his jack-high bluff.
