Pachos Finds a Nine

Trung Tran raised before the flop, and he found action from Simon Cleal and John Pachos. The flop came {7-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}, and all three players stayed in, though the betting action was unclear.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs}. Cleal led out with a bet of 6,000, and Pachos moved all in for his last chips, approximately 12,000. Tran ducked out (later saying he folded two aces), and Cleal made the call. The river was the {K-Spades}. Pachos turned over {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}, and it was the winner. He has nearly tripled up to 33,000.
