Suarez's Nines Good at Showdown
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Anton Suarez raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and Rifat Palevic defended his big blind.
On the flop of 6♦5♣6♣, Palevic check-called a bet of 100,000 from Suarez to see the K♠ drop on the turn. Palevic tapped the table once more and Suarez splashed 285,000 into the pot. Palevic called.
When the 4♠ hit the river, both players decided to check it down and Palevic showed A♦Q♦ for ace-high. That was no good as the 9♥9♦ of Suarez was good with a pair of nines.
