Nine-high Good for Mitri
An interesting hand played out in a multiway pot involving the recently arrived George Mitri and Dmitriy Tymoshenko that saw the former win with nine-high.
It was a limped pot, with Tymoshenko the man on the button and Mitri (small blind) and a player in the big blind in the hand. The 
flop saw the action checked to Tymoshenko, who fired for 800 with Mitri the only caller.
The 
came in on the turn to pair the board and brought two checks, as did the 
river. This is where things got interesting as Mitri checked and had his cards poised over the muck to fold. However, after some time in the tank, Tymoshenko checked it back, mucking when Mitri turned over 
.
"If I had a better hand than four high I'd bet," signed Tymoshenko as Mitri giggled and raked in the pot.
