The Nines Giveth, The Nines Taketh
Niveau 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Tom Bona, a short stack, went all-in in early position and was called by Phil Hellmuth to his left and by another player in late position.
A side pot was created when Hellmuth bet 100,000 on a board of 2?A?5?. His opponent called and the K? peeled on the turn. Both players checked and the 9? hit the river.
Another round of checks prompted Hellmuth to turn over J?J?, his opponent turned over the J?J? and, ironically for Hellmuth, Tom Bona rolled over the 9?9? for the main pot. The jacks chopped the side.
