Simpson Wins a Classic Flip
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Spencer Simpson opened from the hijack and was flatted by a player on the button. The big blind then jammed for 22,600, Simpson rejammed for slightly more, and the button folded.
Big Blind: 4♠4♥
Spencer Simpson: K♥J♠
It was a coinflip scenario until the K♦10♣8♣ flop vaulted Simpson into the lead. Nothing changed on the 6♠A♠ runout, and Simpson nearly doubled his stack while eliminating a player.
