Winther Plays it by the Book, Triples Up

Level 5 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Orjahn Winther
Orjahn Winther

There were three players involved in a pot of around 7,000. They were already on a flop of {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} when big blind James O'Sullivan bet 3,000 after a check from small blind Liam Durnin. Orjahn Winther then shoved all-in for his last 9,300 chips from middle position. Durnin mulled it over for a while before putting in a cold-call.

O'Sullivan did not deem the amount high enough yet, and put in a three-bet to 24,300. This was enough for O'Sullivan to relinquish his hand, and the other two players went to showdown.

Orjahn Winther: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
James O'Sullivan: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The two pair of Winther were ahead and remained so as he filled up on the {k-Spades}{3-Hearts} runout, resulting in a triple up to more than starting stack for him.

Interestingly, while the entire hand was happening, Winther rarely looked up from the book he has been seen reading throughout the tournament, seemingly more enthralled by the pages than the pot.
