Nines Are Good

Laura Fryer

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Shenna Staana raised from an early position to 22,000 and got a call from Janet Kanstrup on the button.

Players went heads-up to the 6♠Q♣8♦ flop. Both players checked to the 7♥ turn and again to the 4♠ river.

Staana checked, Kanstrup raised to 20,000 and Staana made the call.

Staana showed 9♣9♠ for a pair of nines and Kanstrup's hand was shown but mucked quickly by the dealer.
