Chong Hits Two Pair and Sends Winter Packing
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Davidi Kitai opened from under the gun, and Victor Chong in middle position made the call. Action folded to Sean Winter in the small blind, who decided it was time to go all in and he shoved his stack in the middle for around 173,000. Kitai got out of the way and Chong made the call.
Sean Winter: A♣Q♣
Victor Chong: A♠J♦
Winter was slightly ahead even as the flop ran out K♠A♦9♠, giving both players top pair. But the tables were turned at the turn when it showed J♥ for two pair for Chong. The 6♦ didn't change the outcome, sending Winter to the rail, and Chong added to his stack, plus collected the bounty.
