Pocket Nines Good for Fast
Level 3
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dietrich Fast opened 9,000 in the cutoff and only Ivan Govorov came along from the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of K?7?4?, and Govorov check-called a bet of 6,000.
Both players tapped the table when the 6? fell on the turn, and the 2? completed the board on the river. Govorov checked once again to Fast as he fired 27,000 across the line. After only a couple seconds of thought, Govorov made the call.
Fast quickly rolled his 9?9? and Govorov mucked his hand.
