Simon Draws First Blood in Heads-Up
Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Andrea Dato limped in from the button with A?Q?, and Gilles Simon checked with 5?3?. Simon hit bottom two pair on the J?5?3? flop to become the firm favorite.
Simon check-raised to 1,300,000 over a bet of 400,000. Dato called.
The 8? turn confirmed the checkmark for Simon. He fired out another 3,000,000, and Dato stuck around for one more street.
Simon emptied the clip on the 4? river and Dato folded.
