Tom Simm: 
Philip Clarke: 
Simm was way behind as he was up against the pocket rockets.
The flop came 
giving Simm a gutshot. His rail called for a nine but it didn't come on the turn as the 
hit the board. However it did come on the river as it came the 
to give Simm the double up. It was Clarke's turn to have the feeling of his aces being cracked after earier his pocket kings had cracked his opponent aces. Clarke was left with less than five big blinds making him the shortest stack in the room.
