Unibet Poker Ambassador Simpson Eliminated

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 500 ante

Unibet Poker Ambassador Ian Simpson was spotted with a ticket for Day 1c in his hand having bust out from Day 1a.

Simpson told us that with the big blind sitting out, fellow Ambassador Alexandre Reard opened and Simpson shoved for around 33,000 with {a-}{j-} suited.

The button woke up with {a-}{k-} and Reard folded. The {k-}{2-}{2-} had Simpson drawing all but dead and he was sent to the exit.

Any player eliminated from the Main Event is allowed a single re-entry into Day 1c which starts at 8pm tomorrow.
