Kaufmann Plays It Safe on the River

Level 18
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 9?9?5?, Jeremy Dan bet 150,000 from the small blind and David Kaufmann raised to 500,000 in the big blind. Dan called and the 7? fell on the turn.
Dan then led out for 400,000 and Kaufmann called. The river was the K? and Dan used a few time banks until eventually checking. Kaufmann also took a minute before checking back.
Dan turned over 8?8?, but Kaufmann had J?9? for trips to win the pot.
