Haik Walking Tightrope

Eric Haik found himself the short stack in the High Rollers tournament as they redrew for seats having hit the 24 player mark. With just 22k left, he raised half his stack in early position, and the rest soon followed when John Kabbaj raised enough to set him in (the blinds got out of the way).

Kabbaj: {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}
Haik: {K-Spades} {9-Clubs}

It turned round instantly when the flop came {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {2-Hearts} , though, with more rags ({5-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} )completing the board and giving Haik 45k.
