Paasonen Stacks It Up with Nines

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

John Gordon entered the pot from the cutoff with a raise to 58,000 only to have Mika Paasonen raise to 140,000. Once the action returned to Gordon, he moved all in and Paasonen made the call for his last 10,000.

Gordon: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Paasonen: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Fortunately for the at-risk Paasonen, the board ran out {10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} to see him move to 324,000 as Gordon is left with barely enough to cover the small blind.
