Pons Below Average Despite Winning a Pot
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Fernando Pons started the day as the overall chip leader but he dropped below the tournament average. Pons did pick up a pot to help him in the right direction.
It folded to Pons on the button and the former November Niner raised to 10,000. Big blind Mouloud called and they saw the 
flop appear. Mouloud checked to Pons who continued with a bet of 7,000. Mouloud called.
The turn was the 
and Mouloud checked again to the Spaniard. Pons fired another bet of 12,000 this time and he was called once more.
The 
river completed the board and both players checked. Mouloud showed 
but that was no good against the 
of Pons.
