Plater's Nines Secure Double

Satshesh Muthu raised to 36,000 from the button and Peter Plater three-bet to 110,000 in the big blind. Muthu quickly moved all in and Plater called. "Do you have aces?" Muthu asked and Plater shook his head.

Peter Plater:
Sathesh Muthu:

Both players shook hands with a smile on the face and Plater immediately improved to a set on the flop. "Jack for a sweat?" Hermann Lee joked, but all doubt over the outcome vanished with the turn, giving Plater a full house. The meaningless river made the double up official and Plater doubled his stack of 327,000 to jump into second place.
