Ponakovs Chips Up

Niveau 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 6,500 from the hijack with Kamal Gonzalez calling from the button and Mehdi Chaoui defended out of the big blind.

After Chaoui checked the 9♣7♦5♣ flop, Ponakovs bet 8,000 which only Gonzalez called.

Ponakovs fired a bet of 15,000 when the K♥ came on the turn. Gonzales called again.

The 6♦ river got checked through and Ponakovs took down the pot with 10♠9♠ for a pair of nines.
