Muehlocker's Nine is Good at Showdown

Ottomar Ladva raised to 26,000 from the hijack before Thomas Muehlocker three-bet to 115,000 out of the big blind. Ladva called to see a flop.

Muehlocker continued for 48,000 on the monotone flop of Q♠7♠4♠, and Ladva called.

A 9♣ arrived on the turn, causing Muehlocker to check. Ladva slid out a bet totalling 85,000, which Muehlocker called.

Two checks followed the 8♥ river and Muehlocker showed 10♦9♦ for a pair of nines. Ladva couldn't beat it and Muehlocker was sent the pot.
