Ponakovs Loses Two in a Row
Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs limped in Q?10? from the small blind and Barny Boatman checked his option with J?9? in the big blind. The flop then fell 7?J?8? and saw Ponakovs check to Boatman, who made a bet of 500,000.
Ponakovs flicked in a call and the A? turn appeared. Both players checked to the 7? river, which was also knuckled down. Boatman's pair won him the pot as he extended his lead by just a bit.
The next hand, Ponakovs raised the button to 800,000 and David Kaufmann looked at A?6? in the big blind, which he shipped all in for 6,425,000. A quick fold followed from Ponakovs, seeing him chip down to a seven-figure stack.
