Negreanu Doubles Twice, Winter Over a Million

Level 19 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu came into the unofficial final table with less than two big blinds but found a way to double up twice and is now sitting with 200,000.

Keith Tilston raised to 60,000 from the hijack and Sean Winter called from the big blind. The flop came {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Winter check-called a bet of 40,000 from Tilston.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and Winter checked again, allowing Tilston to fire another 150,000. Winter continued to call and the {2-Diamonds} completed the board. Winter checked one more time and Tilston eyed up his opponent's stack before shipping all in. Winter had 405,000 remaining and instantly stuck his chips in the middle.

Tilston tabled {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for two pair but Winter held the nuts with {k-Spades}{4-Spades}. A massive double up put Winter over one million chips while Tilston fell back to the middle of the pack.
