Brian Altman

After a flop of 8s7c3c with about 550K already in the pot, Brian Altman got it all in from the cutoff for about 1,010,000 with 9h9d, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the Ac2c (club flush draw) of Barry Hutter in the small blind.

The turn card was the 3d, the river card was the 8d, and the pocket nines held up for Altman to win the pot and double up in chips.
