Ripper Finds a Triple Up
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
David Coleman opened to 50,000 from the hijack before Wagner Ripper three-bet all in for 255,000. When it folded to the big blind Kharlin Sued, he elected to make the call. The original raiser Coleman then four-bet all in for 1,150,000, which sent Sued in the tank. After several minutes, Sued did find a fold, leaving the two players heads up, with Ripper at risk.
Wagner Ripper: 9♥9♣ 
David Coleman: A♠K♠
Ripper was ahead with pocket nines and when the board ran out 8♦7♥3♥3♦8♣, Ripper's nine were still best and he managed to triple up.
