Chrisanthopoulous Misses a Big Draw

The flop came down {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} and Tim Balaban got it all in with with Michael Chrisanthopoulous. Balaban held a set of nines and needed to dodge the big draw from Chrisanthopoulous' {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs}.

The turn and river both blanked off for Chrisanthopoulous when the {3-Hearts} and {8-Hearts} came. The board pairing on the river did give Balaban a full house in the end and bumped him up to 34,000 chips. Chrisanthopoulous dropped to 10,500.
