Presto! Winston Knocks One Out

More than half the table got to see a cheap flop over on the "TV Table" in the corner surrounded by cameras and microphones. The dealer spread out {A-Hearts} {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds}, and the blinds checked. Hazem Muhieddin was next to act, and he led out with a bet of 6,000. Next door, Roy Winston bumped it up to 12,000, enough to fold the rest of the meddlers in the pot. Muhieddin was not so easily pacified though, three-betting it up to 32,000.

"All right, I'm all in," said Winston, moving his covering stack across the line. Muhieddin quickly called for his last ~35,000 chips additional.

Showdown
Winston: {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs}
Muhieddin: {A-Spades} {5-Spades}

On that action flop, top two pair was no good to Winston's middle set. Looking for an ace but finding none, Muhieddin saw the last turn and river of his day come {9-Diamonds} and {3-Spades} respectively. He's out, and Winston notches a big chip increase up over 300,000.
