Simao Cracks Aces to Avoid Being the Bubble Boy
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Joey Weissman was the first to act, and raised to 45,000, which was called by the big blind Joao Simao.
The flop came 2♠2♣4♣ and Simao checked to Weissman, who bet out 20,000. Simao took some time, before raising all in for his stack of 260,000, which Weissman snap-called.
Joao Simao: 7♠7♣ 
Joey Weissman: A♠A♦
When Weissman called Simao said "I guess I have two outs?" and Weissman confirmed by tabling his aces.
Simao then said "Why didn't I fold pre like I wanted to" before adding "come on SEVEN!".
The dealer obliged and instantly put out the 7♦ on the turn, and the 5♠ on the river to give Simao a double up on the stone bubble.
