Level 18 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
John Simon made a one-card flush.
John Simon made a one-card flush.

Mike Deis opened for 40,000 on the button, and John Simon made it 80,000 in the small blind. The big blind shoved all in for 129,000, and Deis folded.

"Well, I don't think I can fold," Simon said, making the call.

Simon: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Big blind: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

An {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop pushed Simon from dominated to leading with his pair and flush draw. A {2-Diamonds} turn sealed it, and a {j-Hearts} was the final community card.

"Well, you know what they say," Simon said. "Better lucky than good."
