Simpson Back at It

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 0 ante
Ian Simpson
Ian Simpson

Ian Simpson did not make it through to Day 2 on Day 1a, but that did not deter him from being right on time today on Day 1b.

He was involved in a three-way pot with Arto Mansner and Daniel Silverman. There were 900 chips in the middle on a flop that read {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Small blind Mansner and big blind Silverman checked to Simpson in the cutoff, who fired a pot-sized bet of 900. Only Mansner called, and the two saw a turn.

On the {5-Diamonds} turn, Simpson upped his sizing after being checked to, this time choosing for an overbet of 3,500. Mansner was not going anywhere and quickly made the call.

The {9-Diamonds} river fell and now Mansner took the initiative by leading for 7,000. Simpson snap called and got shown that Mansner was playing the straight on the board with his {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} holding. However, Simpson had a higher straight with {k-Spades}{10-Spades} and thus raked in an early sizable pot.
