Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Chris Nguyen opened to 12,000 and was called by Joao Simao.

Sean Perry three-bet to 36,000 and Aleks Ponakovs four-bet all in for 72,000. Nguyen folded and Simao shoved for 90,000. Perry called putting both players at risk.

Aleks Ponakovs: A♦Q♦ All in
Joao Simao: A♠A♥ All in
Sean Perry: K♠Q♥

Simao had his double locked up on the turn of a J♠J♥5♥3♦8♣ board and he chipped up to 240,000.
