Eastwood Takes from Simpson
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Nick Eastwood opened to 2,500 in the cutoff, with Neil Benardout calling in the small blind and Ian Simpson defending his big blind.
Action checked to Eastwood on the 6♠7♥A♦ flop, sliding out a continuation bet of 2,600. Simpson was the only caller to the 4♦ turn, where both players checked.
Simpson then led out for 5,000 on the 7♠ river, sending Eastwood into the tank. After taking some time, Eastwood tossed in the call. Simpson showed 9♠8♣, while Eastwood tabled J♥8♥ to take the pot with his jack kicker.
