Ponakovs Picks Off Jorstad's bluff
Level 18
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Espen Jorstad made it 100,000 under the gun with David Coleman calling from the small blind and Aleksejs Ponakovs defending his big blind.
After two checks, Jorstad fired out a bet of 85,000 on the 6♥J♠3♦ flop. Coleman folded, but Ponakovs continued with a call.
Check-check followed the 5♠ turn for the 8♣ to fall on the river. Ponakovs led out for 75,000 and was met by a raise to 380,000 from Jorstad. Ponakovs tanked for around a minute, before electing to put in the call.
Jorstad showed a bluff with K♠7♠ and lost the pot with Ponakovs' J♦10♣ for a pair of jacks.
