Simpson Falls Short of the Money
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Alexandru Marcu raised to 32,000 from middle position before Ian Simpson moved all in for 154,000 on the button. Marcu asked for a count then called.
Ian Simpson: J?J?
Alexandru Marcu: 7?7?
"You have five cards to get there," Simpson said, but Marcu would only need the flop to hit the 7? to make a set, followed by the 10?5?. The board ran out Q?Q? and the 888poker Ambassador was eliminated two spots shy of the money.
