Turn Analysis

The board double-pairing drastically condenses both ranges. Checking our marginal showdown value OOP is pure standard.

River Analysis

The third nine gives everyone at least nines full of sevens. Checking allows CO to stab at the pot with air while we keep pot control.

River Analysis

Folding here is a severe error because the board itself is a full house (nines full of sevens), guaranteeing at least a chop against any unpaired hand.

Note: Folding surrenders our guaranteed chop equity against all of villain's unpaired stabs when getting 4.1:1 pot odds.
