Heimiller Surging in Closing Minutes
Level 8
: 200/400, 50 ante
Level 8 is winding down, and Dan Heimiller is just warming up.
In a recent hand, Heimiller opened for 1,100 from the button and then called when Bruno Portaro three-bet to 3,400 from the big blind. Both players checked the 
flop, and then Portaro check-called a bet of 4,000 on the 
turn. When the 
completed the board on the river, meaning a queen would make Broadway, Portaro led out for 5,500 and Heimiller shifted in his chair.
The WSOP bracelet winner began talking to himself, shrugged, and then dropped in a call. A deflated Portaro tabled the 
, and Heimiller proudly rolled over the 
for the win.
