Power Pocket Pairs Preflop Profitable for Simunic
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Josh Arieh started the pot with a preflop open to 18,000. Josip Simunic in the cutoff made the call and Antal Mezei on the button three-bet to 36,000. Arieh folded but Simunic, after a bit of a dwell up, moved all in for 204,000 total. Mezei sigh-called, acknowledging the trouble his 
was in vs. the 
of Simunic.
No help for queens on the 
board, and Simunic doubled up.
