Simpson Keeps the Pressure On
Level 31
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Losing the all-in pot hasn't deterred Ian Simpson from continuing to apply pressure on Alvaro Murciano.
In the latest series of pots, Murciano raised to 800,000 on the button with Q♦2♣ and Simpson defended Q♣10♦. Both players checked the J♠8♠7♦ flop and Simpson took the pot with a bet of 1,600,000 on the 3♦ turn.
Simpson then limped the button with K♦9♠ and Murciano checked back 9♦6♠. The flop came Q♠J♥3♠ and Simpson bet 400,000. Murciano then raised to 900,000 and Simpson called.
Murciano slowed down and checked the A♥ turn, Simpson bet 1,600,000, and Murciano folded.
