Chisholm Finds a Dream Spot to Double Up
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Christopher Csik raised to 160,000 from under the gun, and William Chisholm three-bet all in for 880,000. It folded back to Csik, who sat in the tank for over two minutes, before finding the call.
William Chisholm: 9♥9♦ 
Christopher Csik: 9♠8♠
Chisholm was a great position to double up, with Csik having no immediate outs to beat the pocket nines. But after the 8♣K♦5♥ flop, Csik could now hit an eight. But after the 5♦ on the turn and K♣ on the river, the pocket nines of Chisholm remained the best hand, and he secured the double up.
