Simon Bluffs It All Away
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
John Pannucci raised to 5,000 from the hijack, and when it folded to Gilles Simon in the small blind, he three-bet to 22,000. Pannucci made the call.
The flop came Q♠6♦8♠ and Pannucci called a bet of 13,000 from Simon.
After the 3♥ on the turn, Simon sized up to 60,000, and Pannucci made the call.
The river was the 9♥ and Simon moved all in for 198,000, and Pannucci called. Simon turned over K♥J♥ for just king high, while Pannucci had Q♦10♦ to take the pot with his pair of queens, eliminating Simon in the process.
