Sean Winter opened with a raise to 16,000 and action folded to Ben Yu in the cutoff. With right around 90,000 he tanked a bit before folding. Action folded to Bill Klein in the small blind and he moved all in for 75,000. Winter called quickly and the hands were tabled.

Sean Winter: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Bill Klein: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

"Pleasure playing with you Bill," Winter said upon seeing Klein's hand.

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and Winter paired his king to send Klein to the rail.

"Good fold, Ben Yu," Winter said to Yu after the hand.

"I think I made a bad fold actually," Yu said in response.

"That's when you call it a deck read," Winter responded with a smile, joking that Yu knew what cards would come on the board.
