Simuntis Doubles Through Karrim
Simon Solomon raised to 8,000 from under the gun and was called by Ahmed Karrim in the cutoff. Vygandas Simuntis then jammed for 87,000 in the small blind and Solomon let go.
Karrim went into chatty mode and talked through some scenarios. He added "I can beat pocket eights" before he verified the all-in amount again on the first time extension. The call followed and brought with it this showdown.
Vygandas Simuntis: A♦K♣ 
Ahmed Karrim: K♦10♦
"Did you have an ace?" Karrim asked Solomon who shook his head. "That's not good ..." Karrim added but then changed the tune to "that's good when the 10♥5♥3♦ flop changed the lead. However, it was instantly followed by the A♣ turn and the 8♣ river secured the double of Simuntis.
"You talk about pocket eights, so I thought you have them," Simuntis said while pointing to the board with the eight on the river.
