Sean Winter Eliminated in 8th Place
Sean Winter shoved all in for 255,000 from middle position and Keith Tilston called from the big blind.
Winter: [AcTc]
Tilston: [5s5d]
In a classic race for Winter’s tournament life, he would need to find some help to remain alive.
The dealer spread the [6c4s7d] flop to push Tilston further ahead. The [8c] on the turn gave Tilston a straight, but leave Winter drawing to clubs or a nine to stay alive.
The river landed the [3h] and Winter was eliminated in eighth-place.
For Winter, if he can fade a David Peters victory, he will be crowned the U.S. Poker Open Champion.
