Paul Jager opened to 12,000 from the hijack and was called by Vinny Lingham on the button, Dimitar Danchev in the small blind, and Andrew Lichtenberger in the big blind for a four-way pot.
Everyone checked on the 10♣9♣Q♦ flop and it was checked to Jager, who bet 18,000 on the J♣ turn. Lingham and Danchev called, but Lichtenberger folded.
The 9♥ completed the board and Lingham bet 75,000 after being checked to. Both Jager and Danchev let their hands go and Lingham collected the pot without showing.
"I'm very sad I didn't open my queen-nine under the gun," Rania Nasreddine chimed in.

Daniel Vicente raised to 8,000 from early position and Orpen Kisacikoglu three-bet to 25,000 from the hijack. In the big blind, Jason Koon four-bet to 58,000 and only Kisackoglu called.
The flop rolled out Q♣9♣2♥ and Koon continued for 55,000 to see Kisacikoglu call.
Koon moved all in for 80,500 on the turn 3♣ and Kisacikoglu flicked in a single chip to call.
"Sounds like I'm pretty dead," said Koon as both of them were turning their cards over.
Orpen Kisacikoglu: A♠A♣ 
Jason Koon: K♠K♥
Only one card left in the deck could give Koon the victory and it did not come on the river 5♣, leaving Kisacikoglu to take down the pot.
