Simon Flips Poole to the Rail
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Eric Poole moved all in for 110,000 under the gun and Doug Simon called in the hijack.
Eric Poole: A♥K♥
Doug Simon: [8c8d[
Simon barely had Poole covered as they went to the flop, which came 9♥6♣6♠. Simon's pair held up through the 2♣ turn and 3♣ river, and Poole was sent to the rail.
At another table, Andrew Murray was forced all in from the big blind as Mike Scarborough in the cutoff and Brian Cutsinger in the small blind checked down a board of K♦J♠3♥9♦5♦. Cutsinger ended up with 9♥4♦ for a pair of nines, and Murray mucked 4♥2♦ as he headed to the exit.
With 20 players remaining, action is going hand-for-hand until there is one more elimination.
