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.

Aviel Rubin: AK

A nine popped in the window when the dealer spread out A89J10, and Lim survived with his set.

Holm claimed to have folded ace-queen and lamented that he would have hit the straight.

Michael Holm raised to 55,000 in the cutoff and Mansour Alipourfard defended in the big blind.

"Pretty good flop," said Holm as he flashed A9.

"Just because we're pals from the other day," he continued.

"Nice hand," replied Alipourfard as the small pot was pushed Holm's way.
