Carter Makes the Best Hand
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A player in early position raised to 2,600 and received calls behind from JW Carter in the hijack and Cody Stanford on the button. The big blind also defended, taking action four ways to the streets.
The flop dropped 
and the big blind checked, as did the original raiser. Carter bet 5,500 and saw Stanford fold, the big blind call, and the original raiser fold.
Action continued heads up to the turn 
, and both players checked to bring the river 
on board. The big blind bet 7,000 and Carter wasted no time calling.
The big blind showed 
for two pair, nines and deuces, and it was bested by the 
of Carter, whose jacks up was good for the pot.
