Patouilliart Doubles to Leave Simao Short

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Paul Patouilliart opened to 1,500 from middle position and was three-bet to 5,000 from Joao Simao, who was in the cutoff. Action folded back to Patouilliart and he made it 15,000 to go. Simao called.

The flop came 6Q3 and Patouilliart moved all in for his last 23,800. Simao verified the amount and called to put Patouilliart at risk.

Paul Patouilliart: AAK6All in
Joao Simao: J976

Patouilliart held the lead with his aces, and the 410 failed to improve Simao to award Patouilliart the double up.
