Notice that these 13 tiles do not constitute a winning hand. However, any player, by virtue of having these 13 tiles, can simply win the game with "any" discarded tile from that same suit. As long as a player amasses these 13 tiles "without" performing 'pung' or 'chow' (which waits for "all 9 tiles of the same suit"), and wins the game with "any" tile of the same suit, he will have completed this rare 'Nine Gates Hand' (九连宝灯"jǐu-lián-bǎo-dēng"), which awards the limit. This a special hand, whereby all players pay double that of the limit, regardless if the hand was won on a self-picked (自摸) tile or not.
