Ponakovs Gets Richer, Muehloecker Isn't
Level 5
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs is sitting on top of the counts, and just added a few more chips to his stack in a pot against Thomas Muehloecker.
There were around 55,000 in the pot on a J♦4♥7♦ flop when Muehloecker checked from the big blind and called a bet of 14,000 from Ponakovs, who was under the gun.
When the 6♥ hit the turn, Muehloecker checked again with around 90,000 behind, then Ponakovs bet 27,000. After using a time bank, Muehloecker let his cards go.
