There will be a new Indiana State Poker Champion as Mike O’Neill has just been eliminated

It happened when Jason Simon raised to 125,000 under the gun and action folded to O’Neill in big blind. The defending champ moved all in for 770,000 and Simon thought for a bit before making the call.

O’Neill:  as 9d
Simon:  7c 7h

O’Neill needed to improve to stay alive, but that proved easier said than done as the board ran out a dry  js2d 3d qd 5c.
