Gili Simon was eliminated in 581st place

Gili Simon open-shipped for 64,000 from early position, and Lester Rainey called next to act. It folded around to Sebastian Gallego in the small blind, and he moved all in for 104,000. Soma Gubacsi thought about coming along in the big blind but folded his hand. Rainey thought for a minute and called the extra amount.

“Oh no,” Simon said when she saw Gallego’s hand.

Gallego: KdKh
Simon: QsQc
Rainey: AdJc

It looked like a cooler for Simon but it turned into a tough beat for the big pairs when Rainey paired his ace on the AhTdTs flop. The board finished with 3h turn and 8d river and Rainey sent Simon and Gallego out early in the day.

Lester Rainey – 448,000 (75 bb)
Sebastian Gallego – Eliminated in 580th Place ($810)
Gili Simon – Eliminated in 581st Place ($810)
