Simpson Heads Home
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Stephen Freeman had opened to 25,000 in middle position and was flat-called by Eduard Fechita in the hijack.
It folded to Ian Simpson in the big blind, who committed his stack of 112,000 and was called by both opponents.
Freeman and Fechita checked through the 3♠7♠9♦K♣J♦ board. Simpson tabled A♥10♠ for ace-high, after which Freeman celebrated and showed J♣8♠ for a pair of jacks.
Freeman's celebration was premature, however, as Fechita had the best hand with his K♠Q♦, taking down the pot and earning Simpson's bounty.
