Perfect Nine

Mike Leah opened the button to 15,000, and Shaun Deeb called from the small blind.

Each player drew one, and Deeb checked. Leah bet 45,000, and Deeb called.

Leah showed , and Deeb mucked.

This is at least the third time Leah has made a nine-perfect. He doubled through Mike Gorodinsky earlier in the day after making one, and he was dealt a perfect nine on a hand where John Monnette was dealt an eight-six. After the dust settled, Monnette had won a 700,000-chip pot, and Leah was left with slightly more than 100,000.

Since then, Leah has been on a roll, building his stack back up to almost 550,000.
