Ponnala Plays It Safe
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The action folded to Sumant Ponnala on the button who made it 5,500 to go. Daniel Tafur called from the small blind and the big blind came along as well.
The flop came A♦10♥7♠ and Tafur led out with a bet of 7,000 which got the big blind to fold. Ponnala raised to 21,000 and Tafur just called. The 7♣ paired the board on the turn and both players checked to the 3♣ on the river.
Tafur checked again and Ponnala quickly checked it back, turning over A♠10♠ for the best two pair and the best hand.
