Chuck Simon Takes a Last Minute Chip Lead

When an opponent moved all in for 10,000, Chuck Simon had the big stack at the table and made the call.

Simon showed 9-9 against his opponent's ace-6 off suit, and solidified his lead on a flop of jack-9-4. A 6 on the turn changed nothing, and the case 9 on the river sealed the deal and gave Simon the end of day chip lead with 77,000.
