Simpson Wins Three-Bet Pot as Bubble Looms
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Richard Frey raised to 13,000 in middle position and was three-bet to 30,000 by Ian Simpson in the hijack. It folded back to Frey, who put in a call to the 10♥K♣4♣ flop.
Simpson continued for 20,000, which Frey check-called. The 3♥ turn and 5♠ river were checked to showdown, where Frey tabled A♣9♣ for ace-high.
Simpson had also missed his flush with Q♣10♣, but his pair of tens was good enough to rake in the pot as fewer than ten eliminations remained before the money.
