Winter is Coming For Your Chips

Level 15 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Daniel Smiljkovic played a heads-up pot against Sean Winter as someone asked if he played the Monster Stack.

"I did. For ten minutes," he said.

The two got to the river with the board reading 865J2. Winter checked from the big blind and Smiljkovic bet 480,000 with around 600,000 already in the middle. Winter check-raised to 2,000,000 and Smiljkovic called with slightly less.

Winter showed 62 for two pair, which was good to beat out the top pair of his opponent with K8 as Smiljkovic was sent to the rail.
