Artur Winstone led out for 55,000 from middle position preflop and was called by the big blind.
The flop came J♦6♣9♦, and both players checked. The big blind bet 45,000 on the 8♠ turn, but Winstone reraised to 115,000 and was called.
The river came 2♠. Winstone bet 180,000, and after a minute of thought, his opponent called. Winstone turned over 8♥8♦ for a set, and his opponent mucked his cards immediately.
Winstone busted that same opponent in a cooler on the next hand when all of the money got in preflop with Winstone holding aces and his opponent having kings.
"Hey, you're coming for my chip lead!" said Handrianto Minderman, also at the table.
"Let's play!" said Winstone.
