Ponakovs Doubles with Set of Kings
Niveau 5
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
In a heads-up pot on a flop of 8♠4♥K♠, Aleksejs Ponakovs checked in early position and Michele Lawson bet from middle position. Ponakovs check-raised to ~300,000 and Lawson called.
Ponakovs bet 140,000 on the 2♣ turn and snap-called when Lawson raised all in.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: K♥K♣ 
Michele Lawson: A♣Q♠
The aggressive-playing Ponakovs had it this time with a set of kings and the meaningless 10♣ bricked off on the river to earn the Latvian high-stakes pro a double.
