Nines Hold for Ilich
Paul Phillips opened for 155,000 under the gun only to have Jeff Fielder three-bet to 300,000 from the cutoff. A short-stacked Drazen Ilich then moved all in from the button for 660,000, Phillips folded, and Fielder snap-called.
Fielder: 
Ilich: 
It was a classic flip, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Ilich had a 52.65% chance of winning the hand. The 
flop saw his chances increase to 72.83%, while the 
turn upped it a bit to 77.27%.
Fielder could still win with either an ace, queen or deuce on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the 
fell to give Ilich the double.
