Pedersen Ousted Courtesy of Lau; Simao Triples
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
A series of preflop raises resulted in a three-way all-in pot between Joao Simao, the short stack; Thomas Pedersen, the middle stack; and Ka Kwan Lau, the biggest stack.
Simao: 
Lau: 
Pedersen: 
"Come on," Pedersen said as he got up out of his chair. He was clearly nervous, but that turned to pure disappointment when the flop came down 
to give Lau a set. The 
turn was of no consequence, but the 
river was. An excited Simao hit his two outer to triple, while Lau took down a sizable side pot to eliminate Pedersen.
