Simonelli Looks Up Waki on the River

Level 4
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

The cutoff limped in, Yasuhiro Waki completed in the small blind and Giuseppe Simonelli checked his option in the big.
Waki led out for 700 on a flop of 3?4?6?. Only Simonelli continued.
The 3? turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Waki sized up to 2,200.
The river fell the 6? and Waki emptied the clip with a bet of 8,500, sending Simonelli into the tank.
Simonelli thought for some time before making the call for a good proportion of his own stack. Waki instantly mucked his cards face down while Simonelli proudly slammed A?J? on the table for just ace high.
