Chowdhury Takes Sledgehammer Approach to Pocket Kings, Busts Simmons
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With the last five hands having been declared, Paul Simmons suddenly found himself falling at the last Day 1b hurdle after Saifur Chowdhury put him to the test with some power poker preflop. Simmons limped under the gun, and next to act Chowdhury simply moved all in, covering everyone on the table. Back to Simmons, who with 120,000 had a big decision. In the end, he made the call.
Simmons: 
Chowdhury: 
Simmons expressed great surprise: "How do you have kings there?" he asked, "I thought it was a flip all day long!"
A flip it was not; Chowdhury held over the 
board and we're down to 16.
