Gomes Doubles Through Simon As the Bubble Approaches
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Alexandre Gomes opened to 25,000 from the button and Gilles Simon defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the Q?Q?8? flop leading to the 4? turn. Simon bet 45,000 and Gomes called.
On the 7? river Simon moved all in, covering Gomes who had roughly 125,000 behind. Gomes made the call.
Simon could only show J?9? for a missed gutshot turned into a bluff. Gomes showed down 10?10? for two pair, queens and tens to score a full double up on the soft bubble.
