Gomes Doubles Through Simon As the Bubble Approaches
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Alexandre Gomes opened to 25,000 from the button and Gilles Simon defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the Q♣Q♠8♥ flop leading to the 4♠ turn. Simon bet 45,000 and Gomes called.
On the 7♦ river Simon moved all in, covering Gomes who had roughly 125,000 behind. Gomes made the call.
Simon could only show J♦9♣ for a missed gutshot turned into a bluff. Gomes showed down 10♦10♣ for two pair, queens and tens to score a full double up on the soft bubble.
