After an open to 700 and several calls, Joao Simao made it 4,500 in the small blind. The big blind potted to 16,300 and the opener called, as did Simao, leaving himself just under 5,000 back. The flop came {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Spades} and Simao jammed. The big blind called and the third player mucked.

Joao Simao: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

It wasn't much of a sweat for Simao, although the {7-Diamonds} did make it possible for his opponent to boat up. The river was the {j-Clubs}, though.
