Simao Takes Bite from Neves’ Stack
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Joao Simao raised 1,200,000 under the gun. Action folded to Pedro Neves, who was in the big blind, and Neves defended by calling Simao’s preflop raise.
The dealer fanned K♠Q♥3♠ on the board, and Neves checked.
Simao, a two-time WSOP bracelet winner, bet 800,000, which Neves briefly considered before calling.
The turn brought 9♣, which Neves checked. Simao sized up a bet to 2,650,000, which proved more than enough to push Neves out of the hand with a fold.
