Michael Bellantoni opened from middle position and was met with a button raise from Somasekhar Sanampuri, which he called.
Bellantoni continued on the K♥A♠9♠ flop, and Sanampuri made the call.
The same action followed on the 10♦ turn, with Bellantoni betting and getting called once more.
Before the 5♣ river was even dealt, Bellantoni moved the rest of his stack into the middle and put himself at risk. Sanampuri called, and the hand went to showdown.
Bellantoni tabled 9♣9♦ for a flopped set of nines, while Sanampuri showed Q♥Q♠ for an overpair. The queens were no good, and Bellantoni secured the pot to stay alive and double up.
