Joao Simao

The action was on Joao Simao on the button who was facing a raise. Simao three-bet to 6,000 on the button and Adrian Mateos four-bet to 16,700 in the small blind. The action folded back to Simao who just called.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Mateos led out for 12,000. Simao still called and the {3-Hearts} landed on the turn. Mateos shoved all in for a little over 35,000 and Simao snap-called.

Mateos turned over {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} but it was no match for the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} of Simao. The river was the {6-Spades} and Mateos sent his stack to Simao.
