Nuts Against Second Nuts Goes Ponomarev's Way
Nivel 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Danielle Noja opened up the action with a raise to 4,500 from the hijack and Nikolay Ponomarev made it 12,500 on the button. Atilla Saracoglu called in the big blind, and Noja also called.
The flop came a monotone 5♣10♣2♣, which checked around to Ponomarev, who bet 20,000. Saracoglu quickly folded, and Noja called.
A K♣ on the turn put four clubs on board, and both players checked to the 9♦ river, where Noja checked and Ponomarev fired 80,000.
"That's a very big bet," said Noja. After taking some time to think, Noja settled on a call.
Ponomarev then showed A♣Q♠ for the nut flush, and Noja said "I have the same hand, but in reverse!", then flipped A♦Q♣ for the second nuts.
