Winter Bites Into the Chip Leader
Level 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Sean Winter raised to 120,000 on the button with K♣7♣ and Michael Berk called in the big blind with the raggedy 5♦2♣. Both players flopped a pair on J♦7♠5♣ and both checked to the 9♥ on the turn.
Berk took the betting lead with a bet of 130,000 on the turn and Winter called to see the 7♥ on the river. Berk checked this time and Winter put together a huge bet of 720,000. Berk gave it some thought but opted to send his cards to the muck.
