Simao’s Ace on the River Eliminates Sarmiento
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Action picked up in a hand involving Steven Sarmiento, who just moved all in against two-time WSOP bracelet winner Joao Simao.
Simao asked for a count, and the dealer confirmed Sarmiento was in for his remaining 1,200,000.
Simao then made the call to put Sarmiento at risk.
Steven Sarmiento: Q?Q?
Joao Simao: A?J?
The dealer fanned 6?8?9? on the flop, keeping Sarmiento in the lead. Simao, though, picked up a flush draw to go with his lone overcard to Sarmiento’s queens.
The 7? appeared on the turn, but Simao hit A? on the river to send Sarmiento to the rail.
