Khayate Regrets Goading Simpson

El Mostafa Bel Khayate opened to 30,000 from middle position, and Ian Simpson defended the big blind.

On the 10♣6♣3♥ flop, Simpson check-called in the face of a 35,000 bet from Bel Khayate.

The K♥ hit on the turn, and Simpson checked once more. Bel Khayate fired out a bet of 109,000, and Simpson considered the position.

While he did so, Bel Khayate said "You don't know what do my friend? You want my bounty? If you call, I'll be all-in."

After a bit more thought, Simpson called. Before the dealer had even dealt the 2♥ river, Bel Khayate attempted to move all in for around 190,000.

The dealer pointed out Simpson was first to act. Simpson asked what the position would be if he checked, and the dealer confirmed Bel Khayate's all-in would stand.

Simpson duly checked, Bel Khayate's chips were moved into the middle, and Simpson snap-called.

Bel Khayate confidently tabled A♣K♣ for top pair kings, but was left stunned when Simpson tabled 10♥5♥, his top pair tens improving to a flush on the river.

Bel Khayate was literally dumb founded, and took around 45 seconds before he even got up from his chair, sitting staring at the board in disbelief.
