Level 22 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Pavel Plesuv raised the button to 450,000 and Sean Winter three-bet to 1,300,000 from the small blind. Plesuv just called when the action got back to him.

The dealer spread the QK9 flop and Winter placed out a continuation-bet of 600,000. Plesuv opted to raise small to 1,400,000, and after a brief pause, Winter three-bet jammed for 4,120,000. Plesuv beat him into the pot with the call.

Sean Winter: AK All in
Pavel Plesuv: 99

Winter had one foot out the door with top pair top kicker against the flopped set of Plesuv.

Winter needed running cards to double, and he found a glimmer of hope on the 10 turn after picking up a gutshot straight draw.

But the 10 river slammed the door shut, giving Plesuv a full house and sending Winter to the rail in third place for $597,635.
