Kavanagh Hits River for Boat over Boat

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After limping preflop, three players saw the {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop. The player in early position led out for 15,000, getting called by both the small blind and by Stephen Kavanagh in the big blind.

The {6-Diamonds} turn was checked around before the small blind fired for 65,000 on the {9-Spades} river. Kavanagh raised to 128,000 After the early position player got out of the way, the small blind made the call.

Stephen Kavanagh: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

The river gave Kavanagh nines full of threes, to best his opponent's sixes full of threes, and scoop the pot.
