Zach Smyth raised to 4,000 on the button and the big blind defended.
The flop of J♠9♠8♥ saw both players check through to the 5♥ turn that prompted the big blind to bet 4,000 and Smyth called.
On the river 4♦, the big blind check-called a bet of 6,500 from Smyth.
Smyth showed K♦9♦ for a pair of nines with a king and it was good for the pot as the big blind mucked.
