Pocket Nines Good for Fast
Level 3
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dietrich Fast opened 9,000 in the cutoff and only Ivan Govorov came along from the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of K♠7♣4♣, and Govorov check-called a bet of 6,000.
Both players tapped the table when the 6♦ fell on the turn, and the 2♠ completed the board on the river. Govorov checked once again to Fast as he fired 27,000 across the line. After only a couple seconds of thought, Govorov made the call.
Fast quickly rolled his 9♥9♠ and Govorov mucked his hand.
