Simao Takes Huge Lead
Level 28
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Ivan Luca raised to 1,000,000 from the button, only to see Joao Simao move all in for 11,000,000. Luca wasted little time in making the call.
Having had the better of the early exchanges, Luca had the slight chip advantage, and, as such, it was Simao at risk.
Joao Simao: A♦6♣ 
Ivan Luca: K♦Q♣
The 6♦3♠10♣ flop kept the standings as they were, with the 6♠ turn only serving to improve Simao to a pair.
The river 7♣ bore no effect, seeing Simao double up into a huge chip lead.
