Roberts Vaults Up the Chip Counts with Double Elimination

Austria's Josip Simunic opened the action from early position for 6,600 only to have Italy's Daniele Guidetti three-bet all in for roughly 40,000 from the small blind. Brian Roberts was in the big, and he asked for a count on Simunic before sliding in a four-bet to 90,000 or so, which was enough to cover his Austrian foe.

Simunic found himself between a rock and a hard place, and he thought long and hard before calling off. It was a decision he would regret.

Roberts:
Simunic:
Guidetti:

"Nice hand by the way," a resigned Simunic said.

Guidetti was more hopeful calling for an ace, but his request fell on deaf ears as the board ran out a clean . Roberts' kings held and gave him the double knockout.
