There's Always a Nine...or Two

A player moved all in for around 10,000 from middle position, and the action folded to Bill Klein in the big blind who made the call.

Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Klein: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The board ran {4-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts}, and Klein recorded the knockout.

"There's always a nine," Klein said with a smile.
