Nines Hold for Ilich

Paul Phillips opened for 155,000 under the gun only to have Jeff Fielder three-bet to 300,000 from the cutoff. A short-stacked Drazen Ilich then moved all in from the button for 660,000, Phillips folded, and Fielder snap-called.

Fielder: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Ilich: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

It was a classic flip, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Ilich had a 52.65% chance of winning the hand. The {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop saw his chances increase to 72.83%, while the {3-Spades} turn upped it a bit to 77.27%.

Fielder could still win with either an ace, queen or deuce on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the {K-Hearts} fell to give Ilich the double.
