Simmerman Back in it
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jianwei Lin opened up the action from early position with a raise to 2,500. Kevin Williams called from two doors down, before Austin Simmerman shoved for his remaining 14,000 from the cutoff. Simas Karaliunas called on the button, and the other two players surrendered their 2,500 to the dead money pile.
Austin Simmerman: 3♠3♦ 
Simas Karaliunas: A♠K♣
"The classic" one player at the table said as the dealer prepared the runout. It came 2♦6♣2♥10♠Q♠ and despite the paint scare on the river, Simmerman held on to keep his main event dreams alive.
