Belshaw Outkicks Mulhern and Doubles Up

Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Oliver Braddock raised from middle position and was called by Jacob Mulhern, the small blind and Garrie Belshaw in the big blind.
The flop came 6?7?9? and action checked to Mulhern, who bet 2,000. Belshaw moved all in from 21,600 and action folded back to Mulhern. After some confusion over bets and jokes about angle-shooting, Mulhern made the call.
Mulhern showed J?9? and Belshaw showed A?9?. Both players had a pair of nines, but Belshaw had the ace kicker to bring him ahead.
The turn came the 5? and the river was the 7?, which helped neither player, meaning Belshaw held with his pair to win the pot.
