Simon Joins Millionaire's Club With Ace-High Hero Call
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 9?3?9?, Marian Virlanuta bet 21,000 from under the gun and Gilles Simon called in the hijack.
Both players checked the 6? turn before Virlanuta led out for another 91,000 on the 4? river.
Simon puzzled over the decision for a minute before placing a chip in the pot to signify a call. Virlanuta was then forced to show K?J? for a bluff and Simon quickly revealed his A?K? as he took the pot with just ace-high.
