2010-11 World Series of Poker Circuit Event - Rincon
In middle position, Paul Hails opened the pot to 27,000, and he was called in three places. Narinder Khasria (button), Patrick Karschamroon (small blind), and Michael Simon (big blind) all came along to see a four-way flop.
The dealer fanned out , and everyone checked to the button. Khasria took his cue to fire 57,000 at the pot, and Karschamroon quickly folded. Simon, however, wasn't going anywhere. He cut the calling chips out of his stack of ~300,000 and shuffled them for a moment before announcing a check-raise all in. That folded Hails, but Khasria instantly made the call with his covering stack. "That can't be good," Simon astutely noted. "I just have a nine."

Fortini spent a good long while in the tank before releasing his cards, but Karschamroon once again made the quick call to see the last card.
It was the , and Hails moved all in for his last 49,000. Karschamroon must have missed; he quickly sent his cards back to the dealer face-down, and that means Hails gets to drag a relatively big pot as far as he's concerned.
After starting the hand with 157,000 chips, he's more than doubled up to 339,000 with no showdown.
First into the pot from the cutoff seat, Michael Simon opened to 29,000, and Seneca Easley folded his button. In the small blind, Lori Nunes spent several long minutes in the tank before making the call for a significant chunk of her remaining stack, and it was heads up to the flop.
The dealer burned and spread , and Nunes slowly checked. Simon announced a covering all in, and once more Nunes would spend some quality time in the tank. She had about 130,000 chips left in front of her, and she eventually settled on a fold to save that remainder for a better spot.
"Nice play, Michael," someone at the table said.
"Thanks," he answered. "I don't know how to play post-flop so I just shove."
