Nine-High Like a Boss
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Hassan Nashar raised to 20,000 as first to act. The action folded to Julien Sitbon on the button, who jammed all in for 145,000.
"I'm thinking of calling you with nine-high," Nashar admitted. Moments later, he slammed in a stack of chips for a call.
Julien Sitbon: J♠J♦ 
Hassan Nashar: 9♦8♣
Nashar paired up on the 6♥9♥A♣ flop, but it was not enough to crack Sitbon's jacks on the 2♠5♣ runout.
Former big stack Nashar was traded stacks with Sitbon, leaving him with around 15 big blinds.
