Simon Shuts Down Shusteritsch; Smiljkovic Sent Home
Gilles Simon open-jammed his small blind, putting big blind Josef Schusteritsch at risk for 75,000. Schusteritsch looked at his cards, claiming the first one was good.
However, the second card put him in the tank, leaving Simon to take a guess at his opponent's hand.
"King-four?" Simon guessed. "Queen-seven?"
Eventually, Schusteritsch called off, answering Simon's questions.
Josef Schusteritsch: K♥5♦
Gilles Simon: J♣10♥
Schusteritsch was ahead, but Simon flopped extra outs on 6♥9♠Q♦. The 8♠ turn made him his straight, locking up the pot for the Dutchman.
Schusteritsch wished his former table good luck as the 3♦ river completed the board, as Simon chipped up to over 50 big blinds.
At another table, Daniel Smiljkovic also lost his final chips of the tournament.
