Level 11: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Josip Simunic Doubles Up on First Deal

Level 4: 200 / 400 ante: 400

With his seat still cold, Josip Simunic found his starting stack at risk right on his first hand of the day after a series of back and forth saw Simunic six bet jam his entire 40,000 in, called by Pham Bao for a flip.


Board 6♦ 2♦ 5♠ J♠ 9♦ ran safe for Simunic's ladies, crippling Pham in the process.
