Winter Misreads the Board
NLH Ante: 75,000
No-Limit Hold'em
Sean Winter opened under the gun to 120,000. Eelis Parssinen called from the small blind, and the two went off to a flop.
On 10♣7♦6♥ Parssinen checked in flow, and Winter continued for 175,000. Parssinen used a time bank before sliding in a check-raise to 460,000. Winter didn't waste too much time before calling.
Parssinen didn't slow down on the A♦ turn, as he opted for a down-bet to 425,000, burning through a second time extension.
Yet again, Winter came along for the call, bringing in the K♣ river.
Action quickly checked through, and Parssinen tabled A♠9♠. Winter looked at the board for about 15 seconds before peeling his cards. He then tabled A♥8♥ expecting a chop, but the dealer had to let him know that his opponnent's nine did indeed play, and the pot was awarded accordingly.
