Richard Tuhrim recently joined the field for the first time, and Sean Winter did so for the second, and both were seated at the same table with fresh starting stacks. They wasted little time doing battle.

In one of the first hands at the table, the two were involved in a heads-up pot on a 9c7h3c flop. Winter checked from the big blind, and Tuhrim bet 2,800 from the cutoff. Winter check-raised to 11,500, and Tuhrim called the remainder to proceed. The turn was the 4s, and Winter bet 20,600. Tuhrim called again.

The river was the 2d, and Winter moved all in for 69,000. Tuhrim had about 73,000 chips left in his stack, and he deliberated for a long while before surrendering his cards into the muck.

“Come on,” Charlie Carrel urged Winter from the other side of the table. He wanted to see the winning hand. “Just one. The bottom one.”

Winter grinned and offered to let him pick one. Carrel revealed the 8c. Winter grinned again.

“Uh oh…” Tuhrim said, smiling back.

Sean Winter – 145,000 (121 bb)
Richard Tuhrim – 73,000 (61 bb)
