Popescu Spikes the River
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Corneliu Popescu stuck his last 340,000 into the middle in the small blind and Alexandru Varninschi had a quick look at this cards in the big blind and made the call.
Corneliu Popescu: A?7? 
Alexandru Varninschi: A?8?
Popescu was pipped as the two players saw the 4?10?6? flop. The A? turn changed nothing, and Popescu sat in his seat holding seven fingers in the air.
His call was answered, as the dealer turned over the 7? river to complete an improbable double.
