Bobby Crain

After a flop of 10d9s7h, Bobby Crain was all in from the button with 9h9d for a set of nines, and he needed it to hold against his opponent’s Jc7c in the hijack — a pair of sevens with a gutshot straight draw.

Crain needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card was the 7s, the river card was the 6s, and Crain won the pot with a full house, nines full of sevens, to double up in chips.
