Nines Good for Saliba

Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Justin Saliba raised to 3,500 from under the gun and was called by Vinny Lingham on his left. It then folded to Sam Soverel on the button, who three-bet to 15,000. It folded back to Saliba who made the call, and Lingham got out of the way.

After the flop came 6Q10 Saliba check-called a bet of 11,000 from Soverel.

Both players checked after the 3 on the turn, and the 2 on the river.

Saliba announced "nines" which Soverel responded with "nice hand" and mucked after Saliba tabled 99 to take the pot.
