The flop rolled out 8♣J♣9♠ and action checked around to Weisman who bet 4,400 and only Bechahed called.

On the turn A♦, Bechahed checked over to Weisman who bet 14,600 and Bechahed called.

Both players checked the river 9♣ and Bechahed turned over A♣9♦8♦5♣2♦ for nines full of aces, which was good for the pot.
