Tillmann Gets Spicy with Pocket Sixes

Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
As retold by Ryan Tillmann, he opened under the gun to 24,000 and Michael Sabbia defended the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of Qx9x8x and Sabbia check-called a bet of 22,000.
The 5x landed on the turn and Sabbia checked once again before facing a bet of 66,000. Sabbia eventually let his hand go and showed the Jx9x for a pair of nines. Tillmann tabled that he was playing his 6x6x extra aggressively as he raked in the pot.
