Winter Extends Lead
Level 27
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Dario Sammartino limped the button, Sean Winter did the same from the small blind, and Nick Maimone checked his option from the big to bring about an 
flop. Winter led out for 135,000, Maimone folded, and Sammartino called to see the 
turn.
Winter bet again, this time 445,000, and Sammartino came along to the 
river. Winter slid out a bet of 1.8 million, which put Sammartino, who had 1.56 million behind, to the test. The Italian tanked for a couple of minutes but eventually released his hand.
