Hand #8: Josh Hale Wins a Pot Worth 1.47 Million

Raouf Malek raises under the gun to 125,000, Josh Hale reraises from the cutoff to 335,000, and Malek thinks for a bit before he calls. The flop comes [Ac6h3d], Malek checks, Hale bets 325,000, and Malek calls.

The turn is the [5d], and both players check. The river pairs the board with the [6s], and they check again. Malek shows [9c9h] for two pair, nines and sixes, but Hale turns over [JdJc] to win the pot with a higher two pair, jacks and sixes.
