Steve Charles moved all in from the cutoff, Tim Simon moved all in from the small blind, and after several agonizing minutes of thought, Renyuan Liu folded in the big blind, despite the huge price he was getting. Simon turned up {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

and was in a race situation with Charles' {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

. The flop was {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

, making Simon's set. The turn was the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

, and Liu pounded the table in frustration, saying he had folded {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

. The river was the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

and Simon doubled up. Charles was left with only 20,000 in chips-- less than one big blind.

"I'm like clamydia! I never go away!" bellowed Simon as he dragged the pot.
