Simao's Aces Cracked
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The button opened to 2,000 and Joao Simao three-bet to 8,000 in the small blind. His opponent called called.
Simao continued for 7,000 on the flop of 8♥Q♣3♦ and the opponent called. Simao then checked on the Q♦ turn and the opponent bet 7,200. Simao called.
Simao then led out for 13,000 on the 10♠ river and the opponent responded by raising all in for 21,000.
"You have no idea what I have," Simao groaned before he folded A♣A♦ face-up.
It was the right fold as the opponent showed A♠Q♠ for trip queens.
