Forever Winter

Matt Hansen

Level 19: 10,000/20,000/20,000

Adam Fields was all in for slightly less than Brian Winter's 483,000. The cards were already turned up and the dealer was ready to go.

Adam Fields: 8♦8♣ All in
Brian Winter: A♣K♠

"No ace, no king," Fields said, possibly unaware of how this usually works out for the opponents of the RGPS POY points leader.

The board ran out 6♦A♠5♦J♥K♣ and Winter flopped an ace and rivered a king to send Fields to the rail.

Level 19: 10,000/20,000/20,000

Action was heads up with over 100,000 in the middle and 5♥6♠7♠10♠A♦ on the board when Terakun "Papa Karn" Karnchanakphan bet 40,000. Matthew Williams, who has surged well above the one million mark in the opening levels of the day, thought it over for a moment before he used exact change to call.

Karnchanakphan turned over A♠Q♠ to take the pot with an ace-high flush and move above the one-million mark.

Matthew Williams	1,400,000 1,211,000	1,211,000

Level 18: 10,000/15,000/15,000

William Anderson raised to 30,000 and Sanh Vuong shoved 265,000 from the next seat over. Anderson leaned back and let out a sigh before he counted his chips out in the tank. After a few moments of thought, Anderson wanted to gamble and the cards were turned up.

Sanh Vuong: 3♣3♠ All in
William Anderson: J♦10♦

The board ran out 2♠8♣2♦10♥A♦ and Anderson turned a pair of tens to double up through Vuong.
