Schaefer Scoops the Pot: Nines Beat Fours
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Stanislaw Schaefer took the lead with a bet of 1,500 on the 2♦4♦9♥ flop, with around 3,700 already in the pot. Both Fabian Bartusch in the small blind and Petr Satek in the big blind decided to call.
When the 7♥ hit the turn, both blinds checked, and Schaefer fired again, this time for 3,100. Satek was the only one to call.
The river brought the 10♦, and both players checked, leading to a showdown. Satek revealed A♦4♠ for a pair of fours, but Schaefer showed A♣9♠ for a pair of nines, which was enough to claim the pot.
