Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Panicos Ellinas opened to 1,200 preflop before Simon Higgins made it 4,000 on the button. Joni Jouhkimainen decided to get involved and flat-called in the big blind. Ellinas called as well.
The flop was 
and it was checked to HIggins who bet 6,000. Jouhkimainen quickly folded and Ellinas check-raised all in for about 22,000.
Higgins sighed, "Oh, you haven't flopped a set of nines again, have you?" He then called.
Ellinas: 
Higgins: 
The 
on the turn, combined with the 
on the river meant Ellinas had promptly missed his straight-flush draw. The two had a countdown but Ellinas had Higgins just covered but he was left with just 450 chips after the hand.
