Popov earns a nice pot with A-K vs Falcon


Action began with Michael Kim Falcon raising to 1200 preflop only to get repopped to 3100 by Slaven Popov. Falcon called and the dealer spread the flop of K A 9. Both players checked. At the turn of 3, Falcon checked again, Popov bet 2875, and Falcon smooth-called. On the river of 9, Falcon checked to Popov who continued and bet 5625. Falcon flat-called and mucked when Popov opened up A K for top two pairs.
