The Godfather
The Godfather
Doyle Brunson and Erick Lindgren got it all in pre-flop in a race situation; Doyle with pocket nines against Lindgren's {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}.

The match was locked up by the turn after the board filled out {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, giving Doyle an unbeatable nine-high straight.

The win sets up a third round match-up between Doyle and fellow high stakes cash game player David Benyamine.
