Simpson Flips to Huge Double-Up
Level 10
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A preflop raising war between Ian Simpson on the button and Trung Tran in the big blind resulted in Simpson being all in for his stack of 172,500, which Tran called with the covering stack.
Ian Simpson: A♠K♣ 
Trung Tran: J♠J♥
Tran's jacks remained ahead on the 5♣10♥2♣ flop, but Simpson struck on the K♥ turn. Tran needed a jack to drag the big pot, but the river came the 2♦ instead.
Simpson doubled up to be among the top counts in the ream, leaving Tran with a stack of 15 big blinds.
