Greenwood Plays the Hero
The action folded to Sam Greenwood on the button and he made a raise to 6,000 chips. Aleksejs Ponakovs sat in the big blind and defended with a call.
The flop then came Q♦K♥Q♥ and Ponakovs checked to Greenwood, after which the latter put forth a bet of 4,000 chips. Ponkavos responded with a raise to 13,500. Greenwood stared at his time bank extensions but made the call before using one of them.
The K♦ turn double-paired the board and Ponakovs saw reason to slow down and check, and Greenwood checked behind. On the 5♥ river, Ponakovs picked up the aggression again with a bet of 20,000 and Greenwood made a swift call.
Ponakovs showed that he was playing the board with his 2♥2♣, while Greenwood called with A♦7♥ for the two pair on the board with an ace kicker.
