Simpson Busted and Mulhern Takes Chip Lead
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ian Simpson raised to 10,000 from the button and Jacob Mulhern called in the big blind.
The flop came 6♣K♥5♣. Mulhern checked and Simpson bet 7,000. Mulhern put in the check raise to 25,000 and Simpson called.
The turn came the 5♥ and Mulhern shoved all in for the rest of Simpson's stack.
"It's all fun and games, isn't it?!", said Simpson as he pondered his move. He eventually made the call and players flipped their cards.
Ian Simpson: A♣6♠
Jacob Mulhern: Q♣7♣
Simpson had a pair of sixes and Mulhern had a flush draw that he'd used to semi-bluff the pot.
The river came a 7x to give Mulhern a pair of sevens. With that, Simpson was eliminated from the tournament and Mulhern claimed the pot and took the chip lead.
Day 1b is now on the bubble.
