Davies Floats with Nine-High
Derek Normand opened to 80,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Seth Davies in the big blind who made the call and the two went to a flop of 6♣Q♦5♠.
Davies checked to Normand who continued for 120,000 but then Davies check-raised to 300,000. Normand decided that wasn't quite enough and reraised to 520,000 which Davies called to see the Q♣ on the turn.
The action then went check-check and they went to the river 9♦ which saw Davies check once more.
Normand then gathered a stack of chips and set them in the middle for a bet totaling 585,000 and Davies thought about it for a good 30 seconds before he flicked in a call.
Normand rolled over A♥4♥ for ace-high and Davies flipped over 8♠9♠ for a nine on the river to win the pot.
"So, that's how y'all do it, huh?" Normand said to him. "Just float with the nine high and they give you whatever you want... you just put me on the ol' airball?"
Davies just smiled as he raked in the substantial pot to put him at 3,775,000 while Normand was reduced to 1,400,000.
Davies then went on to win another decent pot and is now sitting at 4,200,000 as the chip leader.
