Simao Gets Three-Quartered
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
A rather innocuous blind-on-blind battle between Long Tran and Joao Simao exploded on the river when the dealer completed the J♥10♣2♥7♥5♠ board. Simao bet a large part of his stack, Tran stuck the rest in and Simao called.
Tran rolled over A♥5♥5♦4♦ for the nut flush and a 7-5-4-2-A low. Simao tabled A♠K♥10♠4♣ for the same low to escape with a quarter of the pot.
