Kim Gets Lucky with Nines

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Yoon Kim

The player in the hijack raised to 18,000 and the player in the cutoff made the call. Yoon Kim had other ideas from the button as he moved all in for 139,000. The hijack also moved all in with the superior stack and the cutoff folded.

Yoon Kim: 9?9?
Hijack player: A?K?

The board ran out heavily in favor of Yoon with almost all spades 7?J?4?2?2? and Yoon received his double up with the spades.
Yoon was one of the original players at his table and was around when they were complaining about the curiosity of the cat.
