Simon Stumbles

We just caught a very peculiar hand involving one of our chip leaders Charles Simon.

On the flop of {A-Spades}

a player in early position open-shoved for his last 42,700 and after some deliberation Charles Simon made the call.

The all in player turned over {A-Clubs}

for top pair and a back-door flush-draw, while Simon turned over {K-Spades}

for King-high.

Along with the all in player, the remainder of the table looked very puzzled, but when the {Q-Clubs}

came on the turn expressions of oh know it couldn't . . . could it? .

The river however would land the {A-Diamonds}

to see a double for the all in player while Simon would slip to 190,000 as he is left to ponder the decision he just made.
