Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Alexey Popov opened to 9,000 preflop and Chino Rheem three-bet to 21,000 just two seats down, the Russian making the call.

Both players checked the {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop before Popov made a pot-sized bet of 50,000 on the turn.

"Nice hand," said a disappointed Rheem, flicking his hand into the muck.
