Level 19 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Four-way in a limped pot on 4♣5♣6♣, Naoya Kihara in the small blind with K♥5♥4♠3♦, Joao Simao in the big blind, Jason Koon in middle position and Sean Winter on the button with J♠J♦8♦3♣ checked.

Kihara checked the 10♦ turn as well but Simao bet 175,000. Koon moved all-in for 40,000 and all the other players folded.

Jason Koon: A♦K♦Q♠10♥ All in
Joao Simao: J♥5♠4♥3♠

Simao flopped two pair but Koon managed to hit a better two with the Q♥ river to double up.
