Chisholm Finds a Dream Spot to Double Up
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Christopher Csik raised to 160,000 from under the gun, and William Chisholm three-bet all in for 880,000. It folded back to Csik, who sat in the tank for over two minutes, before finding the call.
William Chisholm: 9?9? 
Christopher Csik: 9?8?
Chisholm was a great position to double up, with Csik having no immediate outs to beat the pocket nines. But after the 8?K?5? flop, Csik could now hit an eight. But after the 5? on the turn and K? on the river, the pocket nines of Chisholm remained the best hand, and he secured the double up.
