Peter Vitantonio

In the last hand before the break, Peter Vitantonio was all in from the small blind for 66,000 with 9s9d, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive against the 3d3c of the player in the UTG+1 position.

The board came Ks7s2h6cKd, and the pocket nines held up for Vitantonio to win the pot and double up in chips.
