Simsek Eventually Takes Down the Pot
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Mustafa Simsek raised to 105,000 from the cutoff, Bruno Benveniste three-bet to 325,000 on the button and Simsek went deep into the tank. Simsek thought for so long that the clock was called for this preflop decision, finally prompting him to call.
Simsek check-called a bet of 175,000 from Benveniste on the A♠J♥K♦ flop.
The 2♠ turn checked through to the 10♠ on the river. Simsek elected to place a small bet of 125,000 and Benveniste made the call. Simsek tabled A♦10♦ for two pair; enough to see Benveniste's cards into the muck.
