Simao's Time is Running Out
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Joao Simao raised to 105,000 in the cutoff and was called by Ben Yu in the big blind, which brought them to the 5♣3♦2♣ flop. A staring contest ensued that lasted nearly two minutes before they checked to the 7♥ turn, on which Yu bet 60,000.
Simao only had 145,000 behind and went deep into the tank. The clock was called on him eventually and his 30 seconds to act ran down and his cards were declared dead.
