Ponakovs Chips Up

Level 6
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 6,500 from the hijack with Kamal Gonzalez calling from the button and Mehdi Chaoui defended out of the big blind.
After Chaoui checked the 9?7?5? flop, Ponakovs bet 8,000 which only Gonzalez called.
Ponakovs fired a bet of 15,000 when the K? came on the turn. Gonzales called again.
The 6? river got checked through and Ponakovs took down the pot with 10?9? for a pair of nines.
