Minus One More

Roy Winston opened with an early-position raise to 6,100 before Kemal Basat moved all in for 13,800. Winston quickly called when it came back around to him, his {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} poised to knock off Basat and his {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}.

When the dealer ran a board of {3-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}, that's exactly what happened. Basat made his parting comments to his table mates and headed for the door as Winston stacked his chips as his own. That little boost to his stack pushes him just over the 100,000-chip mark.
