Nines Enough For Howard
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Nicholas Richards opened to 8,500 from the hijack and was called by Nicholas Howard in the small blind and the player in the big blind for a three-way pot.
Action checked to Richards, who bet 8,500 on the 3♣Q♠9♥ flop. Both Howard and the big blind called.
All three players checked down on the 8♠ turn and 5♥ river. Howard tabled 10♠9♠ for a pair of nines and both his opponents mucked to send the pot Howard's way.
