Le Whisks Winters Away

Tommy Le opened to 2,700, Chad Winters called from the blinds, and the flop fell {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}. Winters checked, Le continued for 3,500, and Winters check-raied to 8,000. Le tanked momentarily, then moved all in for around 40,000 effective.

Winters crossed his arms in thought, and after mulling the decision over for the better part of two minutes, he called.

Le: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Winters: {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Winters was in a world of hurt, and did not improve on the turn ({j-Hearts}), or the river ({3-Clubs}), and was eliminated from the tournament.

Life is good for Le - he now has around 175,000 chips.
