A Long Winter for Table 56
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
John Connors waved down the PokerNews team to share a cooler that sent Brian Winter above 200K.
"I was eating a cheeseburger. I only saw the result," Connors said.
Winter was kind enough to share the details. He raised from the button and Wayne Murphy three-bet to 6,000. Winter fired back with 18,000 and Murphy called to see a flop of 9x7x5x.
Murphy bet 20,000 on the flop and Winter raised to 60,000. Winter had about 111,000 and he called when Murphy put him all in. Murphy turned over KxKx and Winter had AxAx.
The board finished up with 9x and 5x to give Winter the big pot and the chip lead.
