Stevenson Scoops Massive Pot Against Sanders
Level 32
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Michael Sanders opened to 200,000 from the button. Ryan Stevenson called from the small blind and the big blind folded.
The dealer fanned 
and Stevenson check-called 285,000 to see a turn.
Fourth street brought the 
and the action went check-check. The board paired nines when the 
hit fifth street and Stevenson led for 590,000. Sanders stood up from the table, looked down at the board, and made it 1.4 million to go.
Stevenson tanked for well over ninety seconds before finally announcing a call. He tabled 
for trip nines. Sanders shook his head in disgust and rolled up 
for trip nines with a worse kicker. By scooping this pot, Stevenson has now retaken the chip lead with about 4.75 million while Sanders has fallen to roughly 1.7 million.
