Driessche Goes Three Streets Against Choi

Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Clement Van Driessche opened to 20,000 from early position and it folded around to Susan Choi in the big blind who made the call.
The flop fanned out A?9?9? and Choi checked to Driessche who continued for 15,000, which Choi called. On the J? turn Choi checked again and Driessche fired for 34,000. Choi took a few seconds, but eventually made the call.
The K? completed the board and Choi checked a third time. Driessche went for another bet, this time to 85,000 and Choi went deep in the tank.
"You must have pocket aces the way you're betting," said Choi as she contemplated her decision.
"I'll lay my pocket pair down," announced Choi as she folded her hand.
