Lepore, Sayago Both Fall


Ian Simpson raised to 40,000 under the gun and Yarin Matan called on the button. Gabriele Lepore then put in his last 75,000 from the big blind, Simpson reshoved for 440,000, and Matan called to put both opponents at risk.
Gabriele Lepore: 4?3?
Ian Simpson: A?A?
Yarin Matan: A?J?
Simpson had woken up with aces and was a big favorite to scoop the entire pot as the board ran out 6?Q?10?9?2?. Lepore was eliminated, while Simpson doubled up off Matan.
At the same time at another table, David Sayago raised to 40,000 in the hijack and Jorge Alvarez three-bet to 120,000 in the cutoff. Sayago then moved all in for 400,000 and Alvarez snap-called.
David Sayago: A?K?
Jorge Alvarez: Q?Q?
It was a classic flip, and Alvarez's queens stayed in the lead through the J?3?6?J?2? board to send Sayago to the rail.
