Ponakovs Good at Showdown

Level 6
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 1,300 from the cutoff and Martin Stausholm defended his big blind.
On the Q?4?A? flop, Stausholm check-called versus an overbet from Ponakovs of 4,200.
The 7? turn and K? river were then checked through by both players.
Ponakovs showed K?9? for a pair of kings and the winner, while Stausholm had Q?J? for a pair of queens.
