Lonis Holds on With Deuces
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
With the board showing 9♣8♥7♣7♥ and with a big pot having already amassed. Aleksejs Ponakovs fired out a bet of roughly 95,000 from the small blind. Jesse Lonis , who was sitting in the hijack, continued in the form of a call.
Ponakovs burned through a time bank before checking the Q♠ river, and Lonis quickly checked behind.
Ponakovs said, "You win," and tabled K♦10♥ for a bluff. Lonis turned over 2♦2♥ for just a pair of deuces to take down the pot.
