Fireworks on the Turn, Winter Smacks the River!

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Alexander Winter
Alexander Winter

William Bevan limped in under the gun, and Alexander Winter raised to 2,500 in middle position. Viclouris Dodds called on the button, and Bevan stuck around too.

The dealer spread a J9Q flop, on which Winter continued for 3,000, and both opponents called.

The K turn brought fireworks.

Bevan led out for 8,000, and Winter called. Dodds then moved all in for 29,200, which Bevan called, before Winter also put his own 21,700 at risk.

Alexander Winter: A10 All in
Viclouris Dodds: A10 All in
William Bevan: Q10

All three players had a straight, but Winter and Dodds were sharing the lead, both having a Broadway straight. Winter was freerolling as well, having a flush draw alongside his straight, which would see him claim the whole pot.

With the players on their feet, the dealer rolled over the 3 river, which did indeed improve Winter to his flush.

Once the pot was apportioned, Winter had a full triple-up, while Dodds claimed a small side pot. Bevan was left with less than ten big blinds.
