Simon joins the Rail

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

John Simon had just doubled up through Jorn Walthaus before but the Dutchman returned the favor with {K-}{J-} versus {A-}{J-} and spiked the nut straight on the turn. Simon then moved all in for 59,000 from early position and Dmitry Kataev called on the button, the blinds folded.

Simon: {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Kataev: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

Both hit the {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, on the {8-Hearts} turn Simon had a few outs less. A meaningless {8-Spades} river completed the board and Simon headed to the payout desk to collect $8,583.
