Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With roughly 420,000 chips in the pot on a completed board, Marcelo Simoes was in the big blind with chips over the betting line. Cameron Robertson was on the button and put Simoes all in, and Simoes quickly called as he jumped up and clapped in celebration before he turned over for a flopped boat, while Robertson held for an inferior flopped boat.

Cameras swooped in to record the Brazilian stacking up all of his new chips, which took him several minutes to stack as he moved over the 1 million chip mark.

Simoes recently won the EPT Main Event in Monte Carlo for €939,840, and he hopes this could help propel him to another improbable run.
