Simao Snaps Off Lopes to Double
Level 18
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Joao Simao raised to 60,000 in early position, Ruben Lopes moved all in from the big blind, and Simao snap-called for 420,000.
Joao Simao: A♣J♣ 
Ruben Lopes: J♥10♥
Simao had Lopes dominated and took away some of his few outs on the 9♠5♣3♣ flop, picking up the nut flush draw. Simao hit top pair on the A♥ turn, and Lopes was already drawing dead and paying off the double up once the 2♦ completed the board on the river.
