Two Streets for Popot
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Frederic Popot opened 6,000 in the cutoff, and Fabiano Kovalski defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 6?4?2?, and Kovalski check-called a bet of 8,000.
The A? fell on the turn, and Kovalski checked to Popot as he continued for 16,000. Kovalski took about 10 seconds before making the call.
When the 6? completed the board on the river, both players checked. Kovalski tabled 4?3?, flopping a pair of fours, but was shown the bad news as Popot tabled A?Q?.
