A player raised under the gun to 2,000, Hitesh Patel called from UTG+1, and Debbie Lee called from the big blind.

The flop came Ks9h6s, Lee checked, and the UTG player bet 5,000. Patel raised to 20,000, and Lee called all in for 15,700. The UTG player also called.

The main pot was worth 54,000, with another 8,600 in the side pot. Any additional betting would go into the side pot.

The turn card paired the board with the 9c, and both players checked.

The river card was the 2d, the UTG player bet 40,000, and Patel moved all in for 55,200. The UTG player tanked for a very long time before he folded, and Patel took the side pot.

For the main pot, Patel showed Kc6c for two pair, kings and nines, but Lee turned over 9s9d to win the main pot with quad nines and triple up in chips.

Debbie Lee  –  54,000  (90 bb)
Hitesh Patel  –  103,800  (173 bb)
