Sam Simon Takes a Hit

Sam Simon raised to 1,800 and got a call from the player in the big blind. The flop came {9-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {7-Spades} and when his short stacked opponent moved all in Simon chose to call. His {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} were up against his opponent's {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs}, but Simon closed off a few of his opponent's outs when the {8-Hearts} on the turn gave him a set. That card also gave his opponent an inside straight draw, but it was the {3-Clubs} on the river that gave him a flush and the pot. Simon saw his stack slip to 22,000.
