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♦.
