Simon Gets his Fill

A player opened to 2,000 from under the gun, two players called behind, and Sam Simon three-bet to 8,000 from the big blind. He received two callers, and the flop came down {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. All three players checked.

The {8-Spades} on the turn paired the board, and Simon led for 8,000. The early position player called, and the river was the {7-Hearts}. Simon quickly tossed out two orange T5,000 chips, and his opponent tank-called.

Simon showed {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for sixes full of eights, his opponent mucked, and Simon shipped a nice pot.
