Joao Simao Hits Three-Outer to Double Up, Zarrin the Short Stack

Level 40 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

David Zarrin opened from under the gun to 4,000,000 and Joao Simao moved all-in for 19,400,000 which Zarrin called.

Joao Simao: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
David Zarrin {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop was no help for Simao but the {k-Hearts} on the turn gave the Brazilian the best hand but he still needed to dodge a heart.

The {6-Clubs} on the river denied the rest of the table a ladder of a little over $60,000 and made Zarrin the short stack.

Level 40 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Mike Jukich opened the action to 4,000,000 from early position with {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. It folded to Mateusz Moolhuizen in the big blind who woke up with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} and made the call.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}, Moolhuizen checked his set and Jukich checked back.

On the {8-Spades} turn both players checked again. The {3-Spades} completed the river and Moolhuizen went for some value by betting 6,000,000. Jukich thought for a moment before flicking in a call seeing the bad news.

Jukich Takes 21 Million Chip Pot Down with Queen High

Level 40 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Mike Jukich opened for 4,000,000 from the button with {q-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Francis Anderson defended his big blind with {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and both players checked their flush draw.

The turn came from {10-Clubs} giving Anderson an open-ended straight draw as well, incentivizing him to bet 5,000,000. Jukich made the call.

Anderson missed everything on the {2-Clubs} river and he gave up and tapped the table. Jukich would debate for a minute and check back his winning queen high.
