Simon Sends Tamasian to the Exit
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Garik Tamasian raised to 400,000 from the hijack with just 5,000 behind. Gilles Simon called from the small blind and put Tamasian all in when the 10♥3♥2♣ flop came down. Tamasian called, and the cards were tabled.
Garik Tamasian: 9♠9♣ 
Gilles Simon: A♥10♣
Simon had taken a commanding lead with top pair on the flop, and Tamasian needed a nine to survive. The rest of the board ran out 7♠3♠, and all of Tamasian's stack was absorbed into Simon's.
Manuel Fritz and Ali Ahmad were also seen at the payout counter.
