Two for Simon

Calum Grant

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Gilles Simon opened to 185,000 first to act and was called by Priit Parmasto on his direct left. The flop and turn checked through to the river for the final board to read A?K?10?5?J?. Simon bet 90,000 and was called.

Simon tabled A?7? for the nut flush. Parmasto laughed upon seeing Simon's cards and showed he had called light with his 6?6?.

"Max value, I guess," laughed Simon.

The following hand, Halil Tasyurek opened to 160,000 from the button and Simon defended his big blind. Simon check-called for 100,000 on the flop before the turn and river checked through to showdown.

On the 9?4?2?9?A? board, Simon turned over K?Q? for just king-high. Tasyurek mucked his cards.
