Simon Sends Xi Home
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ming Xi's Main Event run is over as he just got eliminated by Gilles Simon.
Nenad Dukic opened up the action with a raise to 45,000 from early position and Xi called on the button. Simon also called from the big blind.
The three saw a flop of 3♠9♦Q♣ where it checked to Xi, who fired out 70,000. Simon dropped in the call, and Dukic folded.
On the 4♦ turn, Simon checked once again and Xi immediately moved his last 125,000 into the middle. Simon snap-called.
Ming Xi: Q♦J♦ 
Gilles Simon: 9♥9♣
Xi was drawing to a flush but couldn't find it as the 8♣ peeled off, sending him to the rail and giving Simon a stack of around 2,000,000.
