Then came one of the cruelest hands of the tournament: Mullaly found aces, but Grise hit a flush with K-4 suited and knocked him out in third place. Thus, heads-up began with a crushing lead for Grise: 7.2 million against 1.5 million.
But Winter is not one to give up. With patience, reading, and surgical precision, he chipped away at the distance until turning the match around. The breaking point came when his A-J held against Grise’s A-10 suited. From there, he took total control. In the final hand, Winter called the all-in with A-5 against his opponent’s 9-7 suited and closed the deal.
With this victory, Winter surpassed US$37 million in live tournament earnings, according to HendonMob, and continues to write a monstrous career in this circuit with eight PGT titles and more than 100 cashes.
