Level 14
: Blinds 1,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jacobo Nieder moved all in for 21,000 from the small blind, Ian Simpson reshoved for 115,000 in the big blind, and Jose Maria Sanchez snap-called in the hijack to put both opponents at risk.
Jacobo Nieder: 5♠5♣
Ian Simpson: K♥J♣
Jose Maria Sanchez: A♦Q♦
Simpson and Sanchez both hit a pair on the 4♦K♣A♥ flop, while Sanchez remained in the lead with his aces. The turn was the 4♥, while the 6♣ river was no help to either Nieder and Simpson as Sanchez scored the double knockout.
