Easy Game for Popovic

Main Event Day 1c
Level 15: 15,000/30,000 (30,000)
Entries: 41/224

Poker can be a cruel game but sometimes it depends on what side of the coin you are on. A bad beat for one player is always a friendly beat for another player. Let's just say that Viktor Popovic has nothing to complain about after the following hand.

Popovic jammed for less than 10 big blinds and was called by Shaun Halliday.

Viktor Popovic: A 4
Shaun Halliday: A Q

Popovic was behind with his tournament life on the line and fell further behind after bricking both the 5 5 7 flop and the 10 turn. However, the 4 river was a completely different story as this connected with Popovic's four for him to double up instead of hitting the rail.

Meanwhile, Day 1c the Main Event is just a handful of players away from stopping for the day with 41 players remaining and 34 players scheduled to advance to Day 2 already in the money.

Shaun Halliday - 900,000
Viktor Popovic - 560,000
