Ponakovs Closing in on a Milly
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs made it 12,000 under the gun with Santhosh Suvarna calling on the button and Jason Koon defending his big blind.
Koon checked the K♥J♣6♦ flop, and Ponakovs put out a continuation-bet of 15,000. Suvarna called, but Koon folded.
Heads-up to the K♠ turn that saw Ponakovs fire a second barrel of 37,000. Again, Suvarna continued in he form of a call.
The 7♥ dropped on the river, and Ponakovs gathered together a third barrel of 135,000. Suvarna deliberated for a while before eventually deciding to call.
Ponakovs flipped over K♦Q♣ for trip kings with a queen-kicker. Suvarna couldn't beat it and flashed a Kx himself as the pot headed over to Ponakovs.
