Sandness Spikes Two-Outer for Massive Early Pot

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Mark Sandness dragged a big pot after a lucky river card.
Mark Sandness dragged a big pot after a lucky river card.

Dan Dykhouse bet 2,200 after Mark Sandness checked to him on a flop of {9-Clubs}{a-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and a player behind Dykhouse called. Sandness shoved all in for about 20,000, and Dykhouse made the call after thinking it over. Behind him, the third player snap-called.

"I don't like that," Sandness said, showing {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for nines up.

His assumption was correct, as the third player had flopped bottom set with {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}, while Dykhouse had made a light call with {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. A {6-Diamonds} changed nothing on the turn, but the {9-Hearts} river gave Sandness nines full and the winning hand.

"Sometimes the nine comes," Sandness said with a smile.
