Costanzo Turns the Nuts to Bust Simao
Level 23
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
In a limped pot, Matthew Costanzo led out for 125,000 from the small blind on a flop of 2♦Q♣J♦ and Joao Simao raised to 695,000 in the big blind. Costanzo then moved all in, and Simao called for 1,300,000.
Joao Simao: J♣9♦5♦2♣
Matthew Costanzo: A♥K♦10♣3♦
Simao had flopped two pair, but the K♥ turn gave Costanzo the nut straight. Simao needed to fill up on the river, but he missed the 9♣ and was sent to the rail to bring the field down to two tables.
