Simpson Barrels Into Straight
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ian Simpson limped in from the small blind, and Roderick Watson checked his option in the big blind. Simpson bet 20,000 on the 10♠A♣9♥ flop and 80,000 on the 7♦ turn, both of which Watson called.
Simpson sized up to 230,000 on the 8♣ river, which Watson also quickly looked up. Simpson tabled A♦8♠ for two pair, but it was no good against the J♦9♠ of Watson, who had rivered a straight to win the pot.
