Steve Westerholt moved all in from UTG+1 for 67,000, and the player on the button moved all in over the top for about 160,000 with AhQd.

Westerholt turned over 9s9d, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came 10d9h5s10c2d, and Westerholt flopped a set of nines and turned a full house, nines full of tens, to win the pot and double up in chips.

Steve Westerholt  –  147,000  (29 bb)
