Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Joao Simao raised in first position and was called by both blinds including Derek Bugg in the small blind.

The flop rolled out 9♥6♣5♣ and action checked around to Simao who bet and both blinds called.

Bugg checked the turn K♣ over to the big blind who checked to Simao who bet a second time. Only Bugg called.

On the river Q♦, Bugg checked over to Simao who bet once more and Bugg went into the tank. He contemplated for a while before landing on call.

Simao shook his head and revealed A♣8♦3♥2♥ for just ace-high, while Bugg turned over A♥6♥5♠2♣ for bottom two and he raked in a sizable pot off of Simao.
