Vaka Can't Push Knoppers Off

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Monica Vaka raised it up to 3,500 in middle position and Luigi Knoppers called from the big blind. The flop fell {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Knoppers check-called a bet of 4,000 from Vaka.

The turn was the {3-Spades} and both players checked to the {9-Clubs} on the river. Knoppers dropped in a small bet of 6,000 and Vaka countered with a small raise to 16,000. Knoppers called and Vaka showed {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} for just ace-high. Knoppers held {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for two pair and scooped the pot.
