Cherish Andrews

Andrew Lichtenberger opened to 60,000 from under the gun and Cherish Andrews three-bet to 200,000 in the cutoff as Yifu He called on the button. Lichtenberger folded.

Andrews continued for 100,000 on the flop of 9Q3 and He raised to 300,000.

"OK," Andrews said in defeat before folding. "You have pocket nines?"

He indeed had pocket nines as he turned over 99. According to those at the table, it's his third set of the tournament.
