Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Safi Haidar open-limped from middle position before Nikolay Ponomarev raised it up to 9,000. Haidar called to take the hand to the flop, which ran out 3♦Q♣Q♠. Haidar checked and Ponomarev bet 5,000, which Haidar called.
Both players checked it through on the 8♣ turn to see the 7♠ river. Haidar then led out for 12,000. Ponomarev used a time bank card before raising it up to 42,000. Haidar folded and Ponomarev raked in the pot.
