Kings vs Nines vs Eights

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

All the action happened pre-flop with both Robert Damelian and Joe Caruso all-in. [Removed:271] had them both covered and cards were on their backs.

Damelian: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Caruso: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Gergis: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}, Gergis hit the nine on the river to send both his opponents to the re-buy desk.

"I guess I shouldn't play kings against nines", Caruso was heard to say.
