Simon Doubles
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
David Simon opened in early position for 80,000, prompting a three-bet of Feng Qian in the hijack for 205,000. With the action back to Simon, he four-bet to 980,000, leaving himself 20,000 behind. Qian then went all in. Simon waited, hoping he could sit out until the next pay jump, but made the call in the end.
David Simon: A♥K♣
Feng Qian: Q♠Q♣
Qian was ahead with his pair, but Simon had outs. The flop gave Simon a better pair, as it showed 3♥5♠K♦. No danger on the 9♥ turn and the 10♠ river, and Simon scooped a decent double.
