Whittington Can't Fade the World

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The dealer was in the process of collecting 7,000 apiece from a player in middle position and Blake Whittington, who was on his left in the hijack.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and the middle-position player got his last 18,000 into the middle with Whittington wasting no time to give him action.

All-In Player: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Blake Whittington: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Whittington saw his nines in front but needed to fade gutshot straight, flush, and overcard outs to earn the pot and send his opponent packing. The turn {7-Clubs} complied, but the river fell {a-Hearts} to give his opponent the flush and keep him in the game.
