Boatman and Ponakovs Trade Blows
Aleksejs Ponakovs looked down at A?3? on the button and raised to 575,000 on the button and Barny Boatman defended his big blind with Q?10?. Ponakovs was checked to by Boatman on the 5?7?A? flop, after which he made a bet of 350,000. Boatman quickly laid it down, shipping the pot to Ponakovs.
The next hand, David Kaufmann raised as first to act with J?7? before Ponakovs made the call from the cutoff with 6?6?. Boatman also came along from the small blind with A?J? and the trio went to a flop of 5?10?A?.
The action checked to Ponakovs, who made a bet of 450,000. Boatman made the call before Kaufmann folded his cards. Both players then checked the 5? turn and the Q? river completed the board. Two more checks followed and Boatman's top pair won the pot at showdown.
