Perfect River Card for Popa to Get it All

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Rafael Fernandez raised to 3,700 in early position and John Popa came along in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Popa check-called a bet of 7,500.

The {j-Clubs} hit the turn and Popa checked again before Fernandez splashed a bet of 17,500 across the line. Popa didn't waste much time before making the call.

When the {7-Clubs} landed on the river, Popa checked for a final time and Fernandez announced all in.

"Beg your pardon?" Popa asked, making sure he heard correctly. "I call."

Fernandez tabled {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for a full house on the river and Popa stared at it while saying, "You have a full house? So do I," before tabling {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} turning the top full house. The dealer counted out Popa's stack of 77,700 and pulled in the chips from Fernandez.
