Hit and Run

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

Franck Makaci raised to 3,000 on the button, which the small blind called before Joao Simao three-bet to 16,000 in the big blind. Makaci called, but the small blind folded.

Simao continued for 10,000 on the A♥4♠8♦ flop, which Makaci called.

There was no slowing down from there as Makaci called a further two barrels, first for 25,000 on the K♣ turn, and then for another 23,000 on the 10♦ river.

Simao tabled A♠Q♥, and Makaci mucked his cards.

As soon as the hand was complete, Simao was removed from his seat to balance the tables.
