button in SafariSimmons Spikes the River to End Day 1a
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Shaun Simmons raised it up from early position and was called by Michael Cassiday-Maloney in the big blind. The flop came 8♠6♥5♦ and Simmons continued with a bet of 35,000. Cassiday-Maloney check-raised all in for around 130,000 and Simmons called.
Michael Cassiday-Maloney: K♥8♣
Shaun Simmons: 5♣3♣
Cassiday-Maloney was in great shape with top pair and the Q♠ left it that way. However, the 5♥ hit the river and Simmons made trips to send Cassiday-Maloney home on the bubble.
That brings an end to Day 1a with just 13 players remaining. A full recap of the day along with chip counts will be posted shortly.
