Winter Finds Two Double Ups
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: A♣9♠
Frankie Zeta: K♦Q♠
Zeta pulled ahead on the 10♣Q♣J♥ 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: 5♣5♦
Chancellor Gaffney: J♠J♣
Winter drilled a five on the 7♦3♠5♠ 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.
