Difficult Fold for Simao

Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Joao Simao opened under the gun and Cristian Pernacastro called before Douglas Adkins three-bet to 5,500 in the cutoff. Simao replied with a four-bet to 23,000 and only Adkins stayed interested and called.
The flop gave 7?4?9? and Soma bet 5,600. Adkins announced all in for 70,600 and Simao went deep into the tank with a remaining stack worth 58,000.
"You really have nines?" asked Simao, not long before sending his cards into the muck.
