Josh Albin and an opponent were looking at a flop reading 7 7 7. Albin’s opponent bet 8,000, and Albin thought about it for a bit before calling.
The turn brought the 4.

The 9 landed on the river.
Albin’s opponent fired 39,000, and Albin quickly shoved for 45,200 more. He was instantaneously called and the cards were tabled. Albin revealed pocket nines, connecting on the river to crack his opponent’s pocket aces.
Albin, who began the day with 55,500, was among the chip leaders after the hand, while his opponent was more or less crippled with blinds at 1,000-2,000.
