Nine in the Window for Lim
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Michael Holm raised to 55,000 from early position, Aviel Rubin three-bet to 175,000 from the button, and Brett Lim called for his stack, which was 165,000 from the big blind. Holm got out of the way reluctantly, and the race was on.
Brett Lim: 9♠9♦ 
Aviel Rubin: A♠K♠
A nine popped in the window when the dealer spread out A♥8♣9♥J♣10♠, and Lim survived with his set.
Holm claimed to have folded ace-queen and lamented that he would have hit the straight.
