Simon Five-Bet Shoves into Khorchidian's Big Slick
Nichan Khorchidian raised to 80,000 from early position, and [Removed:553] three-bet to 220,000 from the small blind. Khorchidian four-bet to 750,000, and Simon then five-bet shoved for 2,420,000, sending Khorchidian into the tank.
After thinking it through, Khorchidian said, "I think we have the same hand," and eventually called, covering Simon slightly.
[Removed:553]: A♣10♣ 
Nichan Khorchidian: A♠K♠
Khorchidian was wrong in his assessment as he actually had Simon dominated, needing to hold with Big Slick to score a huge knockout and claim the chip lead. The flop fell Q♥J♠4♥, giving both players a Broadway straight draw, but Simon found no help as the 2♥ turn and 8♠ river sealed his fate.
Khorchidian took down the pot, eliminating Simon. At another table Zhen Chen was seen exiting the tournament and has been eliminated.
