Simpson Sniffs Out a Big Bluff to Even the Match
Level 32
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Alvaro Murciano limped in on the button and Ian Simpson checked his option.
Action was checked to the turn on a board of A♦6♦3♠4♦. Simpson then led out for 600,000 and Murciano called.
Simpson checked the 4♠ river and Murciano bet 2,500,000. Simpson, without a time bank after having it taken away in controversial fashion earlier, allowed his countdown to nearly reach zero before flicking in a chip to call. Murciano showed 9♥5♥ for a bluff and Simpson turned over Q♦6♠ for two pair to win the pot.
The two players now have exactly the same stack as the heads-up duel continues.
