Simpson Fills Up to Retake the Lead

Level 30
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Ian Simpson raised to 600,000 on the button and Alvaro Murciano called.
The flop came Q?7?7? and Simpson bet 350,000. Murciano called and the Q? turn was checked through.
Murciano then led out for 500,000 on the 8? river and Simpson raised to 2,100,000. Murciano quickly called with A?8? for two pair, but Simpson had Q?9? for a full house to win the big pot and retake the chip lead.
