Messick Scores a Knockout
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With one shorter stack already at risk and a side pot of 30,000 to the 
turn, Jonathan Woof checked to Ryan Messick and the table big stack made it 22,000 to go. "What do you have?" his sole active opponent sighed before he settled on a fold.
Messick tabled the 
for nines full and the all-in player was drawing dead with the 
to make the 
river a formality.
The player in the nine seat was trying to rub off some of the run good, to which Messick joked "at least give me a longer massage". One hand later, the very same player opened to 2,400. Messick, now in the big blind, three-bet to 9,600 and took down the next pot.
In the meanwhile, Angelina Rich was eliminated from one table over to reduce the field further.
