button in SafariFoxen Figures Out Ponakovs
Aleksejs Ponakovs limped from the hijack, and Kristen Foxen raised to 3,000 on the button. Andre Akkari came along in the big blind, as did Ponakovs.
Akkari checked the 6♦8♣6♣ flop, and Ponakovs checked behind. Foxen continued for 3,000, and Akkari folded. Ponakovs check-raised to 10,000, and Foxen replied with a three-bet to 23,000.
Ponakovs then four-bet to 36,000, and Foxen answered back by five-betting to 49,000. Ponakovs made the call, and checked the 10♥ turn.
"Do you have aces?" asked Foxen before opting to check it back.
Ponakovs then led out on the K♦ river, sliding forward enough chips to put his opponent all in. That sent Foxen into the tank.
"Such a weird hand," observed Foxen as she talked to herself out loud. After a few minutes of consideration, Foxen stuck in the call.
"No," Ponokovs jokingly whined as he revealed Q♣J♣ for missed flush and straight draws. Foxen proudly tabled 9♣9♥, taking down the pot while reflecting on the wild hand with her tablemates.
