Ponakovs Gets Away with a Big Bet
Level 2
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 15,000 on the button and Chris Hunichen defended from the big blind. The flop came Q♠Q♦10♠ and Hunichen check-called a bet of 10,000 from Ponakovs.
The turn brought the 6♣ and Hunichen checked again. Ponakovs sized up a large bet of 125,000 this time and Hunichen dumped his cards to the muck, accidentally flashing the 6♠.
"Pair and a flush draw?!" Sean Winter exclaimed. "Wow."
