Winter Finds Two Double Ups

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Brian Winter
Brian Winter

Frankie Zeta raised to 3,000 in middle position and Brian Winter three-bet jammed in the hijack for about 12,500 to put himself at risk. Action folded back around to Zeta who made the call.

Brian Winter: A9 All in
Frankie Zeta: KQ

Zeta pulled ahead on the 10QJ flop, pairing his queen but Winter still had outs with a straight draw. The J turn offered Winter no help but the 8 on the river earned him the double up when he improved to a straight.

Shortly after, Winter found himself all in preflop and at risk again, this time from the big blind against Chancellor Gaffney in the hijack.

Brian Winter: 55 All in
Chancellor Gaffney: JJ

Winter drilled a five on the 735 flop, improving to a set. He made quads on the 5 turn to lock up the win and the meaningless Xx rolled off on the river.
