Simao's Sixes Prevail

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

Joao Simao raised to 500 in late position and his left-hand opponent Ihar Soika three-bet to 1,500. Action folded back to Simao and he threw in one yellow chip to match Soika's bid.

The dealer rolled out a flop of {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Simao called another 1,125 before the {8-Diamonds} turn and {J-Diamonds} river were checked.

Simao was first to show his hand after a passive action and he opened {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Soika mucked.
