Cappiello Doubles Through Simon
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Gilles Simon opened to 1,200 from the button and called when Candido Cappiello moved all in for 5,700 from the small blind.
Candido Cappiello: AxKx
Gilles Simon: A♦2♦
Simon was dominated, but added some flush outs after the 9♦8♥3♦ flop. The 6♠ turn and 9♠ river, however, meant Cappiello survived to double up with his superior ace.
"It's never easy," he joked to the table.
