Castellanos Spikes a Lady to Take Out Simon

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mark Simon moved all in from early position for his last 135,000, and action was folded to Jonathon Castellanos in the small blind, who went into the tank before he announced that he was all in as well. Jean Pasqualini in the big blind folded.

Mark Simon: A9All in
Jonathon Castellanos: Q8

The flop of 744 was nice for Simon, but fraught with danger. The turn brought the 9, and it was looking like he had secured a double-up, until the Q fell on the river, giving Castellanos a pair of queens and the pot to send Simon to the rail.
