Ship It Holla Balla

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

After Jimmy Lillis opened for 600,000 from the small blind, Thomas Balla flatted from the big blind and the dealer fanned the {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

Lillis then shoved all in for 2.55 million and Balla beat him into the pot while firmly announcing "call, nine!"

Balla tabled {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for trip nines and Lilly's {8-}{6-} was crushed. The {8-Spades} on the turn left Lilly drawing dead, and the river was the {10-Clubs}.

After this hand the chip counts were essentially evened up, and talk of a chop began in earnest. Stay tuned for details on that arrangement.
