Coca-Cola All Gone

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

A preflop raising war saw Brazil's Joao Simao and Moldova's Valeriu Coca each get in 22,800 preflop, which led to a {4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop. Simao checked from the small blind, and his trap worked perfectly as Coca moved all in for right around 25,000. Simao snap-called and it was no wonder the chips went in.

Coca: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Simao: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Both players held a big pocket pair, but Simao's was best. Neither the {9-Spades} turn nor {7-Hearts} river had a bearing on the hand, and a disappointed Coca exited in the last level of the night.
