Nines Are Good for Burns
Level 1
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel opened to 4,000 under the gun and Adrian Mateos called from one seat over along with Abdelhakim Zoufri in the cutoff. Kahle Burns three-bet to 30,000 and Thorel called. Mateos let it go but Zoufri stuck around with a call as well.
The flop fell 
and Burns bet 45,000. Thorel and Zoufri called. The turn brought the 
that was checked around to the 
river. Burns threw in a bet of 80,000. Thorel folded but Zoufri raised to 255,000. Burns took a few seconds of reflection, then called. Zoufri tabled 
and Burns turned over 
to take down the pot with nines and deuces.
