Nines Are Nice
Level 22
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Paulius Vaitiekunas opened from under the gun to 300,000, and Erik Seidel in the big blind was the only player to come along to the 9♦10♣7♣ flop.
Both players checked the flop, and the 2♣ landed on the turn.
Seidel led out for 425,000, and Vaitiekunas made the call.
The 8♦ completed the board, and both players checked once more. Vaitiekunas turned over A♠9♣ for a pair of nines, which was enough to take down the pot.
