Hand #135 - Roy Winston has the button, he limps for 300,000, Yoon raises to 1 million, and Winston calls. The flop comes Q
6
4, Yoon checks, Winston bets 1 million, Yoon thinks for a minute before he raises to 3 million, Winston moves all in, and Yoon immediately calls with A
K for ace high. Winston shows 44 for a set of fours, and Yoon needs a jack and a ten (for a straight) to survive.
The turn card is the 2, and Yoon is drawing dead. (The meaningless river card is the 7
.) Roy Winston wins the pot -- and the tournament -- with a set of fours.
Heung "Scott" Yoon finishes in second place, earning $832,725. That's a hell of a return for a $240 satellite entry.
At just past midnight, Roy Winston wins the WPT Borgata Poker Classic, earning $1,575,280, a silver watch, and entry into the Season VI WPT World Championship in April, 2008.
