Simpson Cracks Kings to Double-Up
Level 10
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ian Simpson raised to 2,000 from the cutoff and Lin Chen just called from the small blind. The flop came Q?10?9? and Simpson continued with a bet of 2,000. Chen check-raised all in and Simpson snapped off his stack of 14,100.
Ian Simpson: 10?9?
Lin Chen: K?K?
Simpson out-flopped Chen with two pair but still had to fade the final two community cards. The 7? on the turn changed nothing and the 9? on the river improved Simpson to a full house to double up.
