Winters is Coming

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

With the flop showing {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and 22,000 already in the pot, Thomas Winters led out for 8,000 from the big blind position.

A player in the cutoff popped it to 22,000, and Winters went into the tank for about a minute or so, before finally announcing himself all in for about 75,000 total.

The cutoff quickly took the hint and his cards went sailing into the muck, with Layne Flack clapping Winters on the back and asking us "you get that hand?" After hearing that the hand had indeed been recorded for posterity, Flack did what Flack does, making the table crack up with a quick-witted retort.

"Good," he said with his grin spreading wider. "You didn't know a Texan could act, did ya?"
