The dealer fanned the flop of {k-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Winter led out for 16,000. Koon tossed his cards into the muck and Winter showed the table the {2-Spades}. "Ahhhh!" Koon let out a scream as he was disappointed with his fold. Winter stacked the chips and is closing in Marchese for the chip lead.
