Simpson Wins Battle of Wits
Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
A preflop raising war ensued between start-of-the-day chipleader Daniel Jacobsen and Ian Simpson which had the latter take over the chip lead mantle from the former. After Jacobsen had raised in early position, Simpson was the one to three-bet to 18,500 from the cutoff. Jacobson cut out a four-bet to 42,000, to which Simpson responded with a five-bet to 78,500.
Jacobsen took around twenty seconds before giving up his hand and slipped to 240,000, while Simpson moved up to 280,000.
