Petrangelo Slips Against Simao's Boat

Nick Petrangelo opened to 135,000 from early position with A♣7♥ and Joao Simao defended his big blind with A♦9♣.

Both players flopped two pair on the 9♠7♦A♠ flop and Simao check-called a 90,000 bet from Petrangelo.

Simao check-called 270,000 barrel from Petrangelo on the 4♥ turn and then both players checked after the 9♥ completed the board.

Simao showed his full house to collect the pot and Petrangelo showed he somehow averted distaster by not getting all in with his flopped two pair.
