Kabrhel Hands a Triple to the "Neymar of Poker"

"Joao, do you want a double up or a triple up," Martin Kabrhel said to tablemate Joao Simao.

"I'll just take a double up," Simao replied.

"Wow, not greedy. What a role model. The new Ronaldo. He's the Neymar of poker," Kabrhel added.

Bruno Vasconcelos then raised to 40,000 in the hijack and Kabrhel called, as did Simao in the big blind.

Action checked to Kabrhel on the 7♠3♠3♥ flop and he bet 35,000. Simao then raised to 85,000. "It's a mistake. There's only 35 here. You can take it back if you want," Kabrhel joked with Simao.

Vasconcelos then moved all in for 320,000. "To protect Joao. Only 800. I'm not all in. I'm not a gambler," Kabrhel said, raising to 800,000. Simao quickly called for 280,000.

Joao Simao: A♥3♣ All in
Bruno Vasconcelos: A♠6♠ All in
Martin Kabrhel: 9♥9♣

Simao was ahead with his trips, while Vasconcelos was on a flush draw. The J♣ turn kept Simao in the lead, while the river was the 5♣ and Simao earned the triple up. Kabrhel took the side pot to send Vasconcelos to the rail.

"Best possible result. Joao gets the main pot, I get the side pot," Kabrhel said.
