Simpson Picks Up a Pair to Double
Level 32
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Alvaro Murciano moved all in on the button and Ian Simpson called for 4,350,000.
Ian Simpson: 10♦10♣ 
Alvaro Murciano: 10♥6♥
Simpson had woken up with a pocket pair and was a favorite to win the pot as the flop came K♣K♥2♣. The J♥ turn gave Murciano outs to a flush, but he missed the 9♠ river and Simpson took his turn to double up.
