Aces Go Up in Flames

The action was joined as Joao Simao was locked in battle with Rafael Reis.

The two players were looking at a board of 10♦J♥K♥, and had built a pot of roughly 50,000 already.

Simao, playing from the small blind, placed a bet of 12,500. Reis made the call from under the gun.

The 8♣ turn didn't slow Simao down, this time betting 31,000. Again, Reis called.

The flush-completing 2♥ river saw both players slow down, as the action checked through.

Simao flipped over A♠A♣, which was no good versus the K♣J♣ of Reis.
