On a board of J Q J 10 5, Michael Wint (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) is all-in and, after some thinking, induces a fold from Marc Lome. A few hands later Wint has the player in seat 9 all-in and scoops the pot after his 7 9 makes a full boat Nines over Sevens, busting his opponent. Wint is sitting on around 120K (150bbs).
