Ponakovs Bluffs Mateos

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs opened from middle position and Adrian Mateos defended from the big blind.

Mateos checked on the flop of {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Ponakovs bet 55,000. Mateos called. Mateos checked again on the {2-Diamonds} turn and Ponakovs bet 100,000. Mateos again called.

Mateos checked again on the {q-Clubs} river and Ponakovs used a time bank before betting 370,000 with just a few chips behind. Mateos went deep into the tank and burned through four of his time banks.

"Pffff," Mateos said as he ran his fingers through his hair before eventually folding.

"Show," Mateos asked Ponakovs, who proceeded to turn over {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for an ace-high bluff with the nut flush blocker.
