Popovych and Vega Chop
Action started with a raise from under the gun to 1,000. Fred Vega made the call from early position before Serhii Popovych three-bet to 4,800 from middle position. The button woke up with a hand and four-bet to 17,200 which the under the gun player called all in for his last 10,200.
Vega made the call for 17,200 before Popovych moved all in for his last 23,100 chips. The button called and Vega called as well.
