Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 13,000 in the cutoff and was three-bet by Thomas Boivin on the button to 56,000. Ponakovs responded with a four-bet to 170,000, which Boivin called.

The dealer put out a monotone flop of 6♣Q♣9♣, Ponakovs bet 45,000, and Boivin called, bringing the 5♥ turn.

Ponakovs slowed down with a check, and folded when Boivin tossed out a bet of 110,000.
