Simmons Triples Up

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Allen Kessler made it 65,000 from the third position and two players moved all in: the button for 380,000 and Sampson Simmons called for his 170,000 in the big blind. Kessler had them both covered and called with {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Simmons had the worst hand as he showed {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} while the third player rolled over {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

However, the board ran out {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Simmons hit a ten to score a triple up.

"To be honest, I deserved this," Simmons said while piling up his newly earned chips.
