Ponakovs' Check-Raise Does the Job
Level 18
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs raised from under the gun, with Parahat Nurmuhammedov calling on the button and Maksim Shornikau coming along from the big blind.
The A♥3♠10♣ flop checked to Nurmuhammedov, who elected to bet 80,000. Shornikau folded, but Ponakovs check-raised to 255,000. Nurmuhammedov snap-folded, surrendering the pot to Ponakovs.
