Pope's Run Good Continues
In the first open event of the summer, Trevor Pope put on a performance unlike any we had ever seen, when he absolutely dominated the end of Event #2 $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Eight Handed. Well he has channeled a bit of that hot streak in a hand we just saw, where he doubled up on the river.
