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.
