He and his opponent both had 50k in chips with blinds 200-400/50. Bax raised to 1200 in early position with 9 9, and this guy called in late position. The flop came 5 9 J with 2 spades Bax bets 1500, the guy raises to 4500, Bax reraises to 9k, and the guy calls. The turn is the 3 of spades, and Bax bets 11k. His opponent reraises all in, and Bax has a decision to make for about 30k in chips.

He had only seen the guy get all his chips in one time earlier, and he had turned up the nuts. But he'd also not seen the guy reraise with the nut flush draw when he'd had it 5 other times before...so it was a tough decision. The hands he thought he could beat were AJ with the A and 5 5, but he ended up mucking and living another day.

I think every street could be played differnetly and I think this is a very tough hand...any thoughts?
