Popovic Puts Chips to Use
Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
In a previous hand, Marko Popovic had forced a fold from Viatcheslav Buldygin in a pretty big pot and he put the chips to use just now. Popovic raised to 1,200 and Paul Newey called in the small blind. Andrew Christoforou three-bet to 3,500 in the big blind and just Popovic called.
On the 
flop, Christoforou bet 3,000 and was called before the 
turn brought no action. On the 
river, Christoforou checked. Popovic bet 11,000 and Christoforou wasn't as happy, he asked the dealer to spread the pot to see how much was in there, and then called after some further consideration. Popovic showed the 
for trips aces and won the pot.
