Ian Simpson moved all in for around 45,000 from the hijack and was up against Enea Soumpasi in middle position.

Level 17 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

David Gee raised to 10,000 in early position, Olabode Ayegun moved all in for 52,000 in middle position, and Gee called.

Olabode Ayegun: J♦J♠ All in
David Gee: A♠Q♦

The Q♠ fell right in the window to give Gee a pair, followed by the A♣K♦ as Gee made two pair. The turn, though, was the 10♦ to improve Ayegun to a straight. The 4♠ river failed to fill up Gee and Ayegun doubled up.

"Boom. I needed that," Ayegun said.
