Ponakovs Bombs the River
Level 7
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
With roughly 75,000 in the middle and a 3♦2♣10♠ flop on the felt, Chang Lee and Anatoly Zlotnikov checked from the big blind and under the gun, and the action was on Aleksejs Ponakovs, who bet 25,000, receiving two calls.
On the 10♥ turn, Lee led out for 75,000, which removed Zlotnikov from the equation, but Ponakovs called.
The J♠ completed the board, and this time, Lee reverted to checking. Ponakovs loaded up a chunky 325,000 and slid it into the middle. That was enough to win the pot, as Lee folded.
