.
The flop came 
and Winter checked to Sontheimer who bet 300,000 after making two pair. Winter called and the 
landed on the turn. Winter checked again and Sontheimer stuck in a large bet of 2,000,000. Winter called again and the 
paired the board on the river.
Winter checked one more time and Sontheimer quickly checked back after being counterfeit. Winter was awarded the pot with the better two pair to cut into Sontheimer's lead.
