The Q?8?3? flop gave Murciano top pair as Simpson continued for 75,000. Murciano called to the 4? turn, where Simpson bet another 280,000. Murciano again called.
The river was the 2? and Simpson moved all in. Murciano had 650,000 remaining and took a minute before laying down his pair as Simpson took the pot.
