Stevens Cracks Aces
Level 2
: 300/600, 75 ante
Bert Stevens, who gained notoriety under his alias "girafganger7" before switching to his real name on GGPoker, made it 1,500 to go first to act. From the cutoff, Aleks Ponakovs three-bet to 4,800 and Stevens called.
Stevens check-called 7,015 on the 
flop and 15,492 on the 
turn. The river was the 
and Stevens checked a third time. Ponakovs moved all in for 70,411 and Stevens, covering the Latvian by a hair, called with 
for a set.
Ponakovs' 
was second best and, like Reeves before, he opted for a reentry right away.
