Ponakovs Gets River Value

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

There were over 20,000 in the middle on a complete board that read 7♠Q♠A♦K♠6♣.

Quirin Heinz checked from the big blind position before Aleksejs Ponakovs put out a bet of 28,000.

Heinz went into the tank as he mulled over the decision before he made the call.

Ponakovs flipped over J♠10♠ for a turned flush as Heinz mucked his hand in response to the bad news.
