Nine-High Is Good?

Dennis Gambia has just found a double up, when amazingly he found his nine-high as the best hand in an all in confrontation! The board read {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} when Gambia committed his last chips into the pot. It was roughly 3,000 and his opponent decided to make the call.

Neither player seemed thrilled to open their holding, as James Broom commented "Open them up, don't be shy!" from seat two. Gambia was the first to reveal, showing {6-Spades}{9-Spades} for a quality draw with both straight and flush possibilities. However his opponent remarkably tabled {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for nothing but an ambitious inside straight draw!

Both players paired up when the {6-Diamonds} hit the turn, but the river bricked the {2-Clubs} to give Gambia a much needed double up as the other players at the table raised their eyebrows and wished for such good fortune.
