Simoes Takes Overwhelming Lead
Level 33
: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Morten Hvam raised to 500,000 with the 
and Marcelo Simoes three-bet to 2,000,000 with the 
. The initial raiser from Denmark used a time bank extension and called as they headed to the 
flop.
Hvam had 5,100,000 behind with his second pair and faced a bet worth 500,000 by Simoes, which he opted to call.
Neither player improved on the 
turn and they checked to the 
river. Simoes now bet 2,000,000 and Hvam reluctantly paid it off to drop to a severe short stack.
