Ponakovs Makes Tough Call
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
With over 250,000 in the middle already, the board read 8♥4♥2♦7♥ and Aleksejs Ponakovs fired 90,000. Daniel Dvoress was the only opponent in the hand and made the call.
The 6♥ fell on the river and Ponakovs checked before Dvoress fired 215,000. Ponakovs went deep into the tank, using several time banks, but eventually made the call.
Dvoress tabled A♦8♦ and Ponakovs let out a sigh of relief as he rolled over the J♥3♥ for a flush.
