Back-to-Back Bust-Outs for Simon
In the first hand, Brandon Rivard opened from under the gun to 275,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Action folded around to David Simon on the button, who applied pressure with a three-bet to 490,000. After the blinds got out of the way, Rivard took his time, likely watching for the pay jump, before tossing in his last chip.
Brandon Rivard: K♣6♦
David Simon: A♣Q♣
Rivard was hoping to find a miracle, but the board ran out J♥7♣8♥10♠7♠ and sent him to the rail.
In the very next hand, it was Simon back in action. He opened to 120,000 from the cutoff, and Huahuan Feng three-bet to 325,000 on the button. Simon responded with an all-in shove for around 2,200,000. Feng had about 1,200,000 behind and eventually made the call after checking his cards again.
Huahuan Feng: A♣Q♦
David Simon: Q♥Q♠
Feng was dominated, and though the K♥4♦10♦ flop gave him a few extra outs, the K♦ turn and 3♠ river sealed his fate. Just like that, Simon scored back-to-back knockouts.
