Mercier Takes Three-Bet Pot from Ponakovs
Level 3
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action folded to Aleksejs Ponakovs in the cutoff, and he raised to 8,000 before Jason Mercier three-bet to 31,000 on the button. It folded back to Ponakovs, who made the call.
Both players checked the Q♦J♠Q♣ flop, to bring the 3♠ on the turn. Ponakovs again checked, and Mercier fired out a bet of 43,000. Ponakovs quickly mucked, giving the pot to Mercier.
