Simms Out-Kicks Dougherty
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Matthew Dougherty limped in from middle position and Garry Simms raised it up to 1,500 in the cutoff. Brian Bauman called on the button as did Kyle Besaw in the small blind and Dougherty.
The flop fell 
and Besaw checked to Dougherty who bet out 3,000. Simms raised to 8,000 and both Bauman and Besaw folded. Dougherty called to see the 
pair the board on the turn.
Dougherty check-called another bet of 7,000 from Simms and the 
landed on the river. Four cards to a straight on the board slowed down the action as both players knuckled the table. Dougherty tabled 
but Simms had a stronger kicker with 
to rake in the pot.
