De Kermadec Spikes the Turn to Leave Popovic Fuming
Adam Benabou raised to 2,500 from under the gun and was called by Arnel Popovic next to hand before Brice De Kermadec moved all in for 23,600 in middle position.
Action folded back to Benabou who quickly folded, but Popovic snap-called.
Brice De Kermadec: K?Q?
Arnel Popovic: A?A?
Popovic had gotten tricky with aces and it seemed as if it would pay off as he had De Kermadec at serious risk of elimination. The 5?7?Q? flop gave De Kermadec a pair and some hope, and he spiked the K? on the turn to make two pair.
The river came the 3? and Popovic was forced to pay off De Kermadec, muttering to himself the entire time.
