Simeon Naydenov

Matt Affleck raised to 175,000 from the hijack and Dan Colman called on the button. Eric Beller called out of the small blind and Simeon Naydenov defended his big blind.

The flop was Qc8c7d and Beller checked. Naydenov checked, Affleck checked and Colman bet 275,000. Beller called and Naydenov check-raised all in for 1,730,000. Colman called and Beller folded.

Naydenov showed Ac3c and needed a club against Colman’s 8h8d.

The turn was the 2c, giving Naydenov the nuts, and the river was the 6d to secure his double up, leaving Colman as the short stack at the table.

Simeon Naydenov – 4,505,000 (56 bb)
Dan Colman – 1,430,000 (17 bb)
