Popa Loses the Minimum
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The table of Rachid El Yaacoubi broke after the break and he recalled a hand in which he min-raised and Tudor Popa three-bet to 14,500 for El Yaacoubi to call. On a 
flop, Popa called a min-raise to 18,000 and both then checked down the 
turn and 
river runout.
Popa tabled the 
to win the pot. "I had ace-jack," El Yaacoubi said and Popa chimed in. "Really? I don't think so, maybe ace-seven," before they parted ways.
