Blair Doubles Through Simao
Level 8
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Joao Simao opened to 10,000 from under the gun and Eric Blair shoved all in for 74,500 from the big blind. Simao got a brief count and then called to put Blair at risk.
Eric Blair: J♥J♦
Joao Simao: K♦Q♦
The flop came A♦9♥5♥ and Blair's pocket jacks were still in the lead. The A♣ on the turn and the 3♥ on the river changed nothing, giving Blair a much-needed double up.
