Sam Capra has just managed to get the chips he lost to Michal Polchlopek back. This time Capra went to a flop with Mark Betts and Polchlopek. This was where Polchlopek and Capra got all their chips in. For a couple of minutes it looked like Betts was also looking to rumble, but he ended up sending his cards into the muck.
Capra turned over a familiar hand - . Polchlopek didn't have a bigger overpair this time, but stilll had plenty of outs holding .
When the turn and river brought two repeat nines, Capra took his chips back off Polchlopek to sit with a healthy stack again.
