Sean Winter Survives

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The short-stacked Sean Winter got his last 250,000 all in preflop and was at risk against Steffen Sontheimer.

Sontheimer: {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Winter: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

Winter got it in good, but the {9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop made things interesting by giving Sontheimer an open-ended straight draw. Fortunately for Winter, neither the {6-Spades} turn nor {k-Hearts} river hurt him and he doubled through.
