Lerner Sends Wingerden Out

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Michael Lerner
Michael Lerner

Three ways on a flop of {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} in what appeared to be a three-bet pot, Michael Lerner checked from the big blind and the player in the hijack checked as well to Cottrell van Wingerden, who bet 20,000 on the button. Lerner called and the hijack folded.

The {j-Spades} fell on the turn and Lerner checked to Wingerden, who announced he was all in for around 80,000 total. Lerner stuck in a call to put Wingerden at risk and hands were tabled.

Michael Lerner: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Cottrell van Wingerden: {k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Wingerden was bluffing and would need to hit a king to survive. A {4-Spades} came, leaving Lerner best and Wingerden was eliminated.
