Ponomarev Turns a Big Hand on a Scary Board
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Nikolay Ponomarev opened under the gun to 3,500 and only got called by the button.
The J?9?8? flop landed and action quickly checked through to a 4? turn. Ponomarev checked again but the button had other plans and put out a pot-sized bet of 10,000.
After some thought Ponomarev put in the chips and the 3? rolled off on the river.
The action slowed back down and checked through. Ponomarev quickly tabled 4?4? for a turned bottom set and his opponent shook his head and mucked.
