Winter Calls Down With Ace-High
Level 21
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Sean Winter raised to 375,000 from the button with A♠9♦ and Alexandre Vuilleumier defended the big blind with 10♠9♥.
The flop came Q♥7♠K♦ and Winter continued for 255,000. Vuilleumier called and both players checked the 8♥ turn.
Vuilleumier missed his straight draw on the 2♣ river and tried to take the pot with a bet of 500,000. Winter grabbed some chips from the top of his stack and began shuffling them before sticking them in the middle and finding out his ace-high was good.
