Ponakovs Comes Out Best in a Battle of the Blinds
Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With around 120,000 in the pot on the 10♣A♣3♠4♦ board, Mikita Badziakouski went for a check from the small blind and faced a bet of 90,000 from Aleksejs Ponakovs, who was in the big blind. Badziakouski called to see the final card.
A board-pairing 10♥ on the river checked through, and Badziakouski showed 5♥4♥ for a pair of fours. Ponakovs turned over the winner with A♠Q♠ for top pair, and the pot was sent his way, increasing his stack to over half a million.
