Action folded to Joao Simao in the hijack, and he rasied to 90,000. Then Paul Roy in the cutoff three-bet to 250,000, and when it folded back to Simao, he made the call.

Simao checked to Roy, who moved all in for his stack of 915,000. Simao who only had one time extension left, took all of his time bank before making the call.

Joao Simao: AQ All in
Paul Roy: JJ

Simao had two over cards and a flush draw to beat the jacks of Roy. The K on the turn was no help, but the A on the river hit Simao, to give him the pot and knockout Roy.
