Matas Cimbolas, a Lithuanian pro with over 1.5M in live earnings, opened the pot to 25K. After former World Champion Martin Jacobson called, partypoker pro Joao Simao from Brazil raised it to 100K. Cimbolas gave Simao a look, and both players smiled. Was it reminiscence of a similar hand that happened earlier, or just two people trying to size each other up?
Cimbolas 4bet to 250K. Jacobson got out of the way, and Simao completed the bet.
Flop:
Cimbolas bet 150K, and Simao called. On the turn, Cimbolas passed the action to his opponent, who bet out 225K. Cimbolas called, and both players checked the
river.
Cimbolas tabled his hand:
Simao mucked his cards.
