Ponakovs Leaves Klein Short
Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
On a flop of 3♣3♠9♠, Aleksejs Ponakovs checked from the hijack and Morten Klein bet 19,000 out of the cutoff. Ponakovs called to see a turn.
When the Q♠ appeared on the turn, Ponakovs chose to lead out for 22,000, which Klein called.
A 7♣ fell on the river, causing Ponakovs to toss out a bet of 75,000. The bet was for roughly half of Klein's remaining stack, and after thinking it over for a while, Klein called.
Ponakovs turned over A♣Q♣ for a pair of queens, and Klein mucked his cards.
