Marino's Pair of Nines Take the Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
With about 42,000 already in the pot and the board displaying 4?6?9?J?, Valerio Marino checked to Andrej Desset, who responded with a bet of 12,500. Marino made the call.
When the turn brought the 2?, Marino checked once more. Desset, not thrilled with the situation, decided to check behind. Marino then revealed 9?8? for a pair of nines, which was enough to take down the pot as Desset tossed his cards into the muck.
