Assadourian's Correct Play Nets Pot for Schreiber

Assadourian was the initial preflop raiser, making it 2,200 to go. Mikal Blomlie was on the button. He shipped his whole stack of 8,225 into the middle. Then small blind Dan Schreiber called, and Assadourian's spidey sense started tingling. He opted to lay down pocket nines, allowing Blomlie and Schreiber to open pocket eights and pocket kings, respectively.
