Simpson Gives Up on the River

Level 12 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Ian Simpson
Ian Simpson

Ian Simpson and John Ward were involved in a pot of 6,500. Ward bet 3,000 on the flop of {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} after a check from Simpson. Simpson called the bet and the {2-Spades} turn was dealt.

Ward now raised the stakes to a sizable 11,400 after another check from Simpson. Again, the former champion obliged with a call and the {6-Hearts} river hit the felt.

Simpson checked once more and Ward instantly put Simpson all-in for his remaining 61,000 chips. Simpson counted his stack but found the bet too large to look up and folded his hand.
