Tim Simon Pleads for an Eight... and Gets One

Nick Matthews moved all in with {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and Tim Simon made the call with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}. The flop came down {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Simon started screaming for an eight.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}.

"Eight! Eight!" shouted Simon.

And the river was.... the {8-Hearts}.

"YEAAAAAHHHH!"

Simon was up to 85,000 after the hand while Matthews was left with 50K.
