"Nines Are the Best Card in this Game"

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Josh Arieh limped in early position before Ray Fishman raised to 145,000 from the hijack, leaving 5,000 behind. Tobias Hausen called in the big blind and Arieh called.

On the J83 flop, Tobias check-folded to a bet of 325,000 from Arieh while Fishman put in his last 5,000.

Ray Fishman: 9942 All in
Josh Arieh: AK106

Fishman's nines were in the lead and he also held the superior low draw. The board ran out JJ and Fishman's full house was best for the triple.

In the post-mortem, Fishman explained to the table how nines are widely considered to be the best and most important card in this poker format.
