: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
The under-the-gun player opened to 4,500 and RunGood Player of the Year frontrunner Brian Winter defended out of the big blind.
Winter led out on the flop of 8♠3♠6♠ to get his remaining 18,500 in against the bigger-stacked opponent.
Brian Winter: 7♠5♦ 
Opponent: A♠10♦
Winter had an open-ended straight draw against his opponent's flush draw and live cards. The K♦ turn didn't change anything, but the non-spade 7♦ river gave Winter a pair of sevens to double up with the money bubble looming.
