Simon Draws First Blood in Heads-Up
Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Andrea Dato limped in from the button with A♠Q♣, and Gilles Simon checked with 5♥3♠. Simon hit bottom two pair on the J♥5♣3♣ flop to become the firm favorite.
Simon check-raised to 1,300,000 over a bet of 400,000. Dato called.
The 8♠ turn confirmed the checkmark for Simon. He fired out another 3,000,000, and Dato stuck around for one more street.
Simon emptied the clip on the 4♦ river and Dato folded.
