Level 22 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Sean Winter limped in from the small blind with J♦4♣, while Seth Davies checked his option in the big blind, holding Q♥4♦.

The K♦A♥6♦ flop saw Winter fire first, betting out 120,000. Davies was undeterred.

The 7♦ turn saw a second barrel of 200,000 from Winter. Davies tanked for some time before making the call.

The Q♣ river prompted one last shell of 720,000 from Winter, leaving himself just 215,000 behind the line. Davies burnt through several time banks before finally making the huge hero call with just third pair. Winter was quickly left on life support as Davies raked in this monster pot.
