There is a pizza with `3n` slices of varying size, you and your friends will take slices of pizza as follows:
* You will pick **any** pizza slice.
* Your friend Alice will pick the next slice in the anti-clockwise direction of your pick.
* Your friend Bob will pick the next slice in the clockwise direction of your pick.
* Repeat until there are no more slices of pizzas.
Given an integer array `slices` that represent the sizes of the pizza slices in a clockwise direction, return _the maximum possible sum of slice sizes that you can pick_.
**Example 1:**

**Input:** slices = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
**Output:** 10
**Explanation:** Pick pizza slice of size 4, Alice and Bob will pick slices with size 3 and 5 respectively. Then Pick slices with size 6, finally Alice and Bob will pick slice of size 2 and 1 respectively. Total = 4 + 6.

**Output:** 16
**Explanation:** Pick pizza slice of size 8 in each turn. If you pick slice with size 9 your partners will pick slices of size 8.

* `1 <= slices.length <= 500`
* `1 <= slices[i] <= 1000`
