Somerville is Nine-Ballin'

We just caught the tail end of a pot as Jason Somerville bet 10,000 into about 14,000 on a board of {9-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {9-Spades}. The player behind him called for a showdown, and Somerville showed him {J-Spades} {9-Clubs}, three nines. Somerville was behind most of the way -- the opponent flashed the {Q-Clubs} -- but that was a tidy river and a nice pot to move him up to a comfortable 66,000.
