Nines Over Eights

Level 12 : 3,500/7,000, 7,000 ante

Christian Christner remained active with a raise to 16,000 from under the gun with {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Steffen Sontheimer called from the hijack with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Ben Tollere defended his big blind with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

The flop fell {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades} and the action was checked to Sontheimer who fired 17,000. Tollerene went for the check-raise to 65,000 with the overpair and Christner got out of the way. Sontheimer called and the {a-Spades} hit the turn.

Both players checked to the {2-Clubs} on the river and then checked one more time. Tollerene tabled his pocket eights but Sontheimer's nines were the best hand.
