Ferrara Eliminates Simpson

Lewis Powell

Level 8 : Blinds 300/700, 700 ante

There was 6,000 in the pot. Matteo Ferrara was under the gun against 888 ambassador Ian Simpson.

The flop came Q♦4♦2♥ and Ferrara bet 2,500. Simpson called.

The J♥ was the turn and Ferrara bet 5,500. Simpson went into the tank before moving all in for 22,200. Ferrara quickly asked for a count before asking "Queen Jack of spades right?". Simpson remained still and didn't respond. Ferrara made the call covering Simpson.

Ian Simpson: 6♥5♥
Matteo Ferrara: Q♣9♣

Simpson had a combo draw and needed help if he was going to survive as he was up against the top pair of Ferrara. But help didn't come as the river came the A♠ to eliminate the 888 ambassador from the tournament.
