Simao Chips Up
Level 38
: 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante
Joao Simao began a hand that took about five minutes to play out by opening for 400,000 from under the gun. Ilya "Dezauzer" Yakunin called from the big blind.
Yakunin check-raised the 
flop from 320,000 to 840,000. Simao three-bet to 1,480,000 and Yakunin called.
Both players checked the 
turn and Yakunin checked again on the 
river. Simao bet 760,000 and won the pot after Yakunin folded.
