Sweet As Sugarek

From the small blind, Jim Sugarek was allowed to see a cheap flop of {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. He check-raised his opponent's bet on the flop, led out for 2,500 on the {2-Spades} turn, before slowing and checking down the {10-Spades} on the river.

Sugarek showed {9-Clubs}{8-Spades} for trip nines, which was too good for his opponent's {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} as he jumps to 34,000 chips.
