Simunic Second Player Above a Million

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

The new level started with a bang as Josip Simunic knocked out two players in a row.

Florent Estegassy was all in for around 35,000 with the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Simunic looked him up with the {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. The board came {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Estegassy was gone. Right after, Liwei Sun hit the rail before the action on Simunic's table escalated even further.

Mazin Khoury's raise resulted in a three-bet by Simunic and Khoury then four-bet to 105,000. Simunic used one time bank extension and moved all in, and Khoury called for 410,000 to create the second-biggest pot of the day so far.

Mazin Khoury: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Josip Simunic: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

The board came {9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Khoury left the table with his head shaking.
