In hand 230, KBM open raised to $5,500 with black pocket 9’s, triggering folds all around the table, despite Doug, who 3-bet $24,000. KBM called and sent them to the flop with a pot of $52,000, which came down A♥️ 10♥️ 10♠️ . 

Doug to act first bet $17,000 which KBM called. The turn came a J♠️ and both players checked. The river came down a 2♣️, killing Doug’s hopes for the back-door straight draw and now forcing him to commit to the bluff. He bet $51,000 which successfully got KBM to fold.
