Bohlman Busts Simpson and Loeser

[user38873]

Nível 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Manig Loeser raised to 2,400 and Scott Bohlman in the small blind three-bet to 9,000. Conrad Simpson then four-bet jammed from the big blind for 36,100 and Loeser asked for an exact count. The EPT Monte-Carlo champion mulled it over for a minute and shipped it in over the top for around 62,000.

Bohlman asked for a rough count and took some 30 seconds before making the call. Once the cards were revealed, there were some gasps at the table.

Scott Bohlman:

The flop left both Simpson and Loeser on the ropes. No miracle escape followed on the turn and the river only improved Bohlman to the best flush.

"He is a mixed game player, he doesn't know how to play Hold'em," Dustin Dirksen chimed in when some players suspected a slowroll. Bohlman replied "this is like my 25th best game" before adding he had just lost a large pot with kings versus aces not long ago during another event.

Watson was ahead but Moorman paired up on the flop and held out to secure the bust out after the turn and river. Watson has since reentered and has a fresh starting stack in front of him.
