Ponomarev Sniffs Out Lagan's Bluff
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Paul Lagan raised the button to 2,500 with Eduard Litskan and Nikolay Ponomarev calling from the blinds.
After it checked to Lagan, he bet 3,000 on the 5♠K♥J♠ flop, and only Ponomarev called.
Ponomarev check-called another bet from Lagan when the A♥ arrived on the turn, this time for 7,000.
The J♦ completed the board, and Ponomarev checked for the final time. Lagan unloaded the clip with a third barrel of 12,000, and after a few moments to think, Ponomarev stuck in the call.
Lagan revealed a missed draw with Q♥7♥ and lost the pot to Ponomarev's K♠9♦ for just a pair of kings.
