Stegeman's Nines Are Good at Showdown

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Alberto Stegeman
Alberto Stegeman

Joachim Haraldstad raised to 2,500 under the gun, with Alberto Stegeman and Qing Lu calling from the blinds.

When the action checked to Haraldstad on the A36 flop, he put out a continuation-bet of 2,500, which both of his opponents called.

The Q turn checked through before the 2 landed on the river, where everyone checked again.

Lu showed 42 for a pair of deuces, but Stegeman had him beat with 99 for a pair of nines to take down the pot.
