Simao Applies the Pressure
Niveau 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
With the board reading 
and around 25,000 in the middle, the cutoff led out for 8,000. Joao Simao was on the button and raised to 16,200, just over the minimum. His opponent called and the 
was dealt on the river.
Simao's opponent checked and he bet 37,000, putting his opponent's tournament life at risk should he call. His opponent was left with just 28,200 and needed to make a decision. He scratched his head and played with his chips for over three minutes. He finally looked toward Simao and asked a question, but Simao sat with his headphones on and gave no reply. The cards were finally pushed away and Simao raked in the pot.
