Nines Win This Time
Level 22
: 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Donald Nimneh opened to 75,000 under the gun and Rob Palacios re-jammed for 525,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Nimneh and he made a call after getting a count for the total.
Palacios: 
Nimneh: 
The table remarked at yet another preflop all-in scenario with pocket nines this level. The first two times, nines lost, but Palacios was able to hold and ultimately make a set on the river of a runout 
to score the double.
"Now there's somebody that knows how to play nines!" remarked tablemate Dan Dykhouse with a smile.
