Ponakovs Strikes Back Before Break
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs limped in with 4♠4♥ from the small blind before Barny Boatman raised to 650,000 in the big blind, with just the Q♠ being displayed. Ponakovs stuck in a call and the 6♦10♦3♥ flop and 9♣ turn were checked by both players.
Ponakovs then bet 875,000 on the 6♠ river and Boatman stuck in the call. Ponakov's fours were good at showdown and he raked in a small pot before the final three players went on a small break.
