Simao Doubles Through Nowak
Level 23
: 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Renato Nowak raised to 900,000 on the button and Joao Simao called in the big blind. On the 
flop, Simao check-raised from 1.2 million to 3.7 million and instantly called all in after Nowak pushed over the top.
Joao Simao: 
Renato Nowak: 
Simao was the player at risk for his last 17.95 million but had the best of it with the flopped nut straight. The 
turn and 
river failed to improve Nowak and he was left with fewer than three big blinds.
