Johnson Drills River, Doubles Through Simons
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Yves Thalmann opened to 800 from early position and was three-bet to 2,800 by Symeon Alexandridis in middle position. Anton Johnson called cold from the cutoff and Bobby Simons made it 9,500 from the small blind.
Thalmann and Alexandridis folded, but Johnson went all in for his remaining 19,000. Simons quickly called to put Johnson at risk and hands were revealed.
Anton Johnson: K♣6♣
Bobby Simons: A♥K♦
Simons had Johnson dominated and the 7♣2♦9♠ flop and Q♦ turn kept Simons in front. However, the 6♥ river paired Johnson's six, leaving him best with his pair for the double-up.
