De Jong Tries to Be a Hero, Doubles Simpson in Huge Pot
Level 6
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Willem de Jong and Ian Simpson were on the river with a huge sum of 36,000 chips already in the middle. The board read 
and De Jong had checked from early position to Simpson in the seat next over.
Simpson piled in his remaining stack of 33,100. This size made De Jong suspicious. ''Why so much?'', he asked Simpson before putting in some calling chips moments later.
Simpson excitedly declared ''Kings'', as he showed 
. De Jong was forced to show his 
for an attempted hero call with bottom pair and was left with a stack of around 12 big blinds.
