Brace Yourselves, Winter is Coming

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We just had to make that pun, but promise to only make it once.

Sean Winter made it 3,500 from the hijack and Shaun Deeb on the button made the call. Winter made a bet of 5,700 on {7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Deeb called in position. Winter bet a hefty 20,100 on the {5-Spades} turn and Deeb called again. Both players checked the {8-Clubs} on the river and Winter showed {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for the missed combo draw but hit pair on the river. Deeb had one better with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and raked in the chips.

Not much later Antonio Buonanno opened the cutoff for 3,000 and Winter three bet to 10,500 from the button. Both blinds quickly released and Buonanno called. The Italian Grand Final champion checked on {Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Winter checked behind. The {3-Spades} hit the turn and Buonanno checked again. Winter now bet 9,200 and was check raised by his neighbor to 30,000. Winter called. The {8-Spades} completed the board and Buonanno bet out 50,000. Winter called and was shown {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for not much of anything. Winter himself tabled {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for the flopped top pair and started stacking his newfound chips.
