Yang Forces Simao to Use Nine Time Banks

Level 23 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Chongxian Yang raised to 180,000 in the hijack and was called by Joao Simao and Ian Matakis in the blinds.

All three players checked the K33 flop. Yang then bet 200,000 on the 4 turn, and only Simao called.

The river was the 7 and Simao led out for 440,000. Yang then raised to 1,200,000, and Simao ended up using nine time banks as he tanked for several minutes before throwing his cards away.
