Winter Gets Some Back With Flush

Level 30 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Just before the blinds went up, Sean Winter limped and then called a raise to 75,000 against Christoph Vogelsang.

The dealer spread the {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, Vogelsang check-called for 52,000, then both players checked the {q-Hearts} turn.

The {3-Hearts} completed the board, Vogelsang checked, Winter bet 85,000, and Vogelsang went into the tank. After some time, he took off the hood from his head and ran his fingers through his hair while contemplating his decision, before he ultimately called.

Winter tabled {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} to take the pot with a flush, as Vogelsang mucked.

Winter Goes for a Small Bluff

Level 30 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Sean Winter limped in on the button and Christoph Vogelsang checked his option. The flop came {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and both players checked through to the {k-Diamonds} on the turn and the {8-Hearts} on the river.

After Vogelsang checked a third time, Winter finally threw in a bet of 32,000. Vogelsang quickly called and Winter tabled {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for just five-high. Vogelsang showed {k-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair of kings and was awarded the pot.

Small Pots for Both

Level 32 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

With the stacks getting more shallow, it's been more common to see the button limping rather than raising like earlier in the match. Christoph Vogelsang limped the button and Sean Winter checked his option. The flop came {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {8-Diamonds} on the turn.

Winter led out with a pot-sized bet of 60,000 and Vogelsang laid his hand down.

On the next hand, Winter limped in and Vogelsang checked. Both players checked the {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop and the {3-Hearts} landed on the turn. Vogelsang sized up a bet of 90,000 after two minutes and Winter folded.

Vogelsang's Turn Bet Wins the Pot

Level 33 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

Sean Winter limped in on the button and Christoph Vogelsang raised it up to 140,000 this time. Winter called and they went to a flop of {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}.

Both players checked and the {j-Spades} landed on the turn. Vogelsang thought for a couple of minutes before sticking in a bet of 160,000. Winter shrugged his shoulders and pitched his cards to the muck as the gap continues to widen.

The flop fell {j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Vogelsang check-called for 80,000.

Vogelsang check-called for 140,000 on the {9-Hearts} turn, and both players checked the {5-Spades} river.

Vogelsang tabled {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for rivered trips, and Winter almost couldn't believe his opponent's recent luck as his {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} went into the muck.

Christoph Vogelsang held a commanding chip lead over Sean Winter and the German was the first to shove all in on the button. Winter quickly called off his stack of 280,000 and the cards were tabled.

Sean Winter: {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Christoph Vogelsang: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

"Coin flip," both players said. The flop came {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Vogelsang took the lead with a pair of nines. The {10-Diamonds} on the turn improved Vogelsang to two pair and Winter was left drawing dead to the {a-Spades} on the river.

Winter will be forced to settle for a min-cash while Vogelsang will move on to the semifinals to play Kevin Rabichow.
