Simpson and Nyberg Clash in Early Cooler

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Tommy Nyberg and Melanie Simpson had gathered 4,000 preflop when Simpson bet 2,100 on the 6♠5♦8♣ flop from the big blind. Nyberg quickly called, and did so too when Simpson sized up to 4,500 on the 2♣ river.

The 4♥ river was then checked to showdown, where Simpson tabled K♦K♣ for an overpair. Nyberg showed Q♥Q♣ for a no-good pair of queens, and the pot was shipped Simpson's way.
