"Allez Papa"
Level 28
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
The 2k 6-max event was on the final table nearby with such big names as Adrian Mateos, Dominik Nitsche and Artem Litvinov. They heard the noise from the heads-up match and would soon see another all in situation. After a limped pot to the flop of ??, Simunic bet 150,000 and Jean-Noel Thorel moved all in.
Simunic snap-called with the ? for bottom two pair and Thorel had ?. The turn was a brick but the river gave Thorel better two pair and let the French rail erupt. Litvinov shouted over "allez papa", rooting for his fellow older generation.
