Simao Shows a Boat to Double Off Martirosian

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A big pot was brewing between Artur Martirosian and Joao Simao as they went to the turn on a board of A34J. Martirosian then bet 125,000 from the cutoff, and Simao called in the big blind.

The river was the A and Simao moved all in for 165,000. Martirosian ended up burning through multiple time banks before calling, and Simao turned over AJ54 for a full house. Martirosian mucked KJ22, and Simao earned the double-up.

Dylan Weisman and Lautaro Guerra both quickly reentered.
