Ian "Simpioni" Simpson Exits Tune Up

Calum Grant

Level 17 : 1,250/2,500, 300 ante

Ian "Simpioni" Simpson and "Rivotriste" got their chips in the middle preflop following a hijack versus cutoff battle with Simpson narrowly covering his opponent.

"Rivotriste"
Ian "Simpioni" Simpson:

Simpson was dominated preflop and failed to improve on the runout.

The very next hand he was gone after being all-in for less than 1,000 chips with pocket threes but unfortunately ran into the pocket aces of "chesto84" who won the pot.
