Simpson Takes One Out
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
Ian Simpson is presumably the top stack in the room after tripling up in the early stages. In one of the biggest hands, a player opened to 500, Simpson three-bet to 1,800 from the small blind and his opponent called. The flop was 
and Simpson continued for 2,300, which got called.
On the 
turn, Simpson check-called a bet of 4,000. The river was the 
and Simpson checked again. His opponent moved in for 9,300 and Simpson, having him barely covered, called after five seconds.
Simpson's 
was good as his opponent couldn't muster up more than 
and had to part the tournament area.
