It's Hard to be the Champ

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

It seems everyone wants a piece of Simba Jae Kyung Sim, the winner of the Cebu event the last time the APPT was in the Philippines.

Between one player needling him for playing at the World Series of Poker and on the PokerStars European Poker Tour claiming Asia was too small for him and others after his stack, it's hard to be the champ.

He fired away at a {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{j-Hearts} flop in a three-way pot moments ago, getting one caller. Sim checked the {j-Spades} turn, but called when his opponent took a 1,550-chip stab at it.

He checked again on the {9-Clubs} river and went deep into the tank when his opponent made it 3,200. Eventually he emerged folding and now has less than a starting stack with which to defend his title.
