João Paulo Simão Eliminated in 15th Place (€15,000)

Well, it's fair to say that João Paulo Simão does not wait around to grind a short stack, the very next hand after he made that bluff he's ended up on the rail. Juan Navarrete had opened to 40,000 preflop with Jason Duval calling from the cutoff. Simão moved all from the small blind for 410,000.

Navarrete tanked and folded but Duval made a quick call.

Duval: {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Simão: {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The Brazilian needed a nine to avoid total stack implosion, but the board ran out {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and he was out in 15th place - a rollercoaster ride given that he had 1.5 million chips only half an hour ago.
