Simon Sweeping Stacks

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

John Simon fired 9,000 on the river on a board of {7-}{9-}{q-}{k-}{2-} where two flush draws both missed on the river, and his lone opponent quickly folded.

The very next hand, Simon called a raise to 225 before betting 1,050 on the {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop. One player called from the big blind, and we didn't catch the turn action after the {7-Clubs} fell, which was followed by a {2-Clubs} river. The big blind bet 5,600, and Simon called. His opponent turned over {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

"I've gotcha," Simon said, tabling {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} for a better kicker to go with aces up. Simon already has more than double the starting stack.
