Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Joao Simao opened to 4,500 in the hijack before calling a 16,000 three-bet from Jesse Lonis in the cutoff.

The action was swift from that point, as play checked through on all three streets. With 8♦10♣10♦2♣K♠ spread across the felt, Simao tabled 4♥4♣ for the winner.
