Roberts Vaults Up the Chip Counts with Double Elimination

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Austria's Josip Simunic opened the action from early position for 6,600 only to have Italy's Daniele Guidetti three-bet all in for roughly 40,000 from the small blind. Brian Roberts was in the big, and he asked for a count on Simunic before sliding in a four-bet to 90,000 or so, which was enough to cover his Austrian foe.

Simunic found himself between a rock and a hard place, and he thought long and hard before calling off. It was a decision he would regret.

Roberts: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Simunic: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Guidetti: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}

"Nice hand by the way," a resigned Simunic said.

Guidetti was more hopeful calling for an ace, but his request fell on deaf ears as the board ran out a clean {3-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Roberts' kings held and gave him the double knockout.
