Vieira Hits Winter with a Cold Deck
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
After significant action before the flop Joao Vieire checked to Sean Winter on the button with over 1,000,000 already in the pot looking at a board of 4♥9♠7♣. Winter didn't take long before raising pot and putting Vieira all in.
Vieira went into the tank for over a minute with his tournament on the line. Eventually he stuck in the chips and the cards hit their backs.
Joao Vieira: A♠Q♠Q♦10♦
Sean Winter: A♦A♣K♠6♣
Winter was in great shape to score the knockout. The turn brought a 6♦ keeping winter in the lead but the Q♥ river would give Vieira top set and get him a much needed double just after the bubble burst.
