It's Almost All About Simoes

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Hugo Pingray made it 325,000 to go in the cutoff with the {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and he received a call by Morten Hvam in the big blind, who held the {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. The {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{3-Spades} flop was checked by Hvam, Pingray bet 200,000 and that ended the hand right there.

Marcelo Simoes then raised the {5-Clubs}{3-Spades} on the button for 325,000 to scoop the blinds and big blind ante.

Dragos Trofimov then raised for all but the last 325,000 with {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} to keep his short stack afloat.

Up next, Simoes opened the {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} to 325,000 for Pingray to defend {5-Spades}{4-Spades}. The flop fell {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Pingray checked, Simoes bet 200,000 and earned the next pot without any further resistance.

Trofimov then had to forfeit his big blind and big blind ante versus Pingray's small blind push as the limited action continued.
