Jung Finds the Ace This Time

David Salituro

Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Sebastien Jung quickly reentered after busting to Bogdan Pop and got involved in a pot against Alvaro Murciano. Murciano had three-bet to 6,000 in the cutoff, Jung moved all in for 30,000 in the hijack, and Murciano called.

Sebastien Jung: A♠5♠ All in
Alvaro Murciano: J♦J♣

Jung had again run his ace-high into a pocket pair, but this time he spiked an ace on the A♣5♥4♥ flop to take the lead with two pair. The rest of the board ran out 3♠K♠ and Jung found a quick double up on his second bullet.

Level 7 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Reza Mostafavita limped in from early position before Javier Zarco raised to 2,600 in middle position. Ian Simpson then moved all in for 21,000 in the cutoff and Mostafavita folded, but Zarco called to put Simpson at risk.

Ian Simpson: 7♥7♦ All in
Javier Zarco: 9♦9♠

"Oh no," Simpson said after finding out Zarco had his sevens dominated. The board ran out J♥4♦3♥K♣3♣ and Simpson was sent to the rail.

"No revenge for you," Simpson joked with tablemate Alvaro Murciano, whom he defeated heads-up in Madrid in January.

"Maybe tomorrow or the next day," Murciano replied.
