Ponakovs Takes from Table

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Eelis Parssinen opened to 13,000 from middle position and Alex Foxen called from the hijack. Vinny Lingham also came along from the cutoff and both Mikita Badziakouski and Aleksejs Ponakovs called from the small and big blind respectively.

The 4JK flop was checked around to see the K turn. Foxen bet 42,000 and only Badziakouski called to get to the 5 river.

Both remaining players made quick checks to showdown and Badziakouski turned over QJ for two pair. Foxen mucked, leaving Badziakouski to take the pot.
