Set Over Set For Simon
David Simon opened to 3,000 from under the gun, and saw a call from Colin Dentan in middle position. Andrei Konopelko then woke up with a hand in the cutoff and decided to jam for 15,100, and Simon went for a four-bet, to 35,000. Dentan was clearly in a tough spot, and didn't want to let go of his cards immediately. "I'll show if you fold," said Simon comedically, and that's exactly what happened as Dentan let go of his cards, and the two remaining players tabled theirs.
Andrei Konopelko: 5♥5♠
David Simon: K♣K♦
Konopelko thought he had found a saving grace as he saw a five in the window, but the 5♦K♠9♣ flop gave Simon a higher set, and left Konopelko drawing to just a single out. The 8♥ turn and 6♠ river sealed Konopelko's fate, and as he was leaving the table Dentan cried "My sevens!" realising he would've scooped with a rivered straight.
