Simon Doubles Through Walthaus
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
It has been a very volatile last few minutes for Jorn Walthaus. He was down to 70,000 chips, tripled that up and now lost a big portion of the stack once again. After his open raise to 25,000, John Simon moved all in for 92,000 out of the small blind. Walthaus, who started the action on the button, asked for a count and then tossed in the extra chips.
Walthaus: 
Simon: 
The 
flop gave Walthaus the lead, but both the 
turn and the 
river ensured that the better kicker preflop played.
