Popescu Gets There

Level 19

Stud 8/b

Septi Popescu was the bring-in with the {3-Hearts}, and Brian Haveson competed with the {10-Clubs}. Next door, David Whitis raised to two bets, and both opponents called in turn.

Popeseu: (x-x) / {3-Hearts}{q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades} / (x)
Haveson: (x-x) / {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} -- MUCK
Whitis: (x-x) / {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds} / (x)

On fourth street, Popescu and Haveson checked, and Whitis continued out with a bet. Popescu called, Haveson ducked out, and Popescu paired on fourth street. He bet it, then called another raise from Whitis. On sixth, Popescu check-called, and both men checked seventh.

Whitis firmly tabled ({a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}) / {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, and it was no good. Popsecu showed ({3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}) / {3-Hearts}{q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and queens up get him the pot. Whitis was not impressed. "God!" he spun up from his chair. "They play so bad!"

However he plays it's working for Popescu, chipping his way up to about 180,000 with that pot. We're having a hard time counting Whitis' stack as it's stacked pretty clumsily.
