Yaghmai Takes it at Showdown
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nariman Yaghmai opened 6,000 in middle position, and both Umberto Ruggeri and Dzmitry Urbanovich came along from the blinds.
All three players checked to the 10?9?4?6? turn, where Ruggeri led for 8,000. Urbanovich folded, and Yaghmai made the call.
When the K? landed on the river, Ruggeri checked and Yaghmai checked-back. Ruggeri rolled 8?8? for a pair of eights, but was quickly shown it was no good as Yaghmai tabled A?9? for a pair of nines.
