Double Elimination for Blais

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The under-the-gun player, William Blais on the button, and Matt Berkey from the big blind all got their chips in the middle preflop, with Blais having them both covered.

Under-the-gun: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
William Blais: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Matt Berkey: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The flop was very good for Matt Berkey coming {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and the turn was safe when the {3-Hearts} hit, but the river was the {9-Diamonds}, the last nine in the deck, giving Blais nines full of fives and knocking both players out of the tournament.
