Ponakovs Catches Kaladjurdjevic Bluffing and Doubles with Aces
Level 2
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs in middle position raised to 13,000 and was called by both Christoph Vogelsang in the cutoff and Dejan Kaladjurdjevic in the big blind.
After Kaladjurdjevic and Ponakovs checked the 2♥4♦2♠ flop, Vogelsang bet 14,000. Kaladjurdjevic called but Ponakovs raised to 55,000. Vogelsang folded, then Kaladjurdjevic reraised to 138,000. Ponakovs made the call.
Kaladjurdjevic asked for 260,000 on the 10♠ turn and was called, then moved all-in for 712,000 on the 7♥ river.
Ponakovs went into the tank for almost two minutes and eventually called off his last 667,000 with A♥A♦. Kaladjurdjevic only had 5♣3♥ for a missed straight draw and was left on fumes.
