Simon Gets Paid By Phua
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Gilles Simon raised from under the gun, and big blind Paul Phua made the call.
The flop came 6♣8♣K♥ and Phua check-called a bet of 8,000 from Simon. The turn brought the A♠ and Phua again check-called a bet from Simon, this time for 18,000.
After the 9♣ on the river, Phua checked once more, and Simon sized up to 52,000. Phua gave it some thought before putting in a chip to make the call. Simon tabled A♦9♦ for two pair, as Phua shook his head and flashed the A♣ as he tossed his cards in the muck.
