Klezys Weathers the Winter Storm

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sean Winter

Youness Barakat opened to 12,000 from early position and Kasparas Klezys called from the cutoff. Sean Winter raised to 67,000 on the button, and both players called behind.

The 76J flop prompted Barakat to check, Klezys to bet 200,000 and Winter to move all in covering both remaining players. Barakat quickly mucked, and Klezys called.

Kasparas Klezys: JJ96All in
Sean Winter: AAK8

Klezys had flopped a set which had Winters aces beat. There was a sweat on the Q turn as it brought in straight draw outs for Winter, but the 7 river was safe and Klezys got a full double-up.
