Stud-8

Heimiller: X-X / {a-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} / X

Phillips: X-X / {4-Hearts} {q-Clubs} {5-Spades} {4-Spades} / X

Things quickly got out of hand on third street at Dale Phillips' table. Ming Reslock brought it in and was completed by Farzad Bonyadi. Dale Phillips called, only to see Dan Heimiller and John Juanda raise and re-raise behind him. He called both raises before Heimiller raised again. Juanda and Phillips both called.

Juanda had the lead on fourth street and checked it. Phillips also checked, giving Heimiller the opportunity to bet. Juanda raised. Phillips re-raised all in and was called by both players.

Heimiller bet fifth street after Juanda checked, then bet the lead on sixth street after the all-in Phillips made open fours. Juanda called both times. On the river, Heimiller checked, then seemed to know he was beat when Juanda bet. For the size of the pot, perhaps, he couldn't lay it down. Juanda showed three hearts in th hole, {7-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {j-Hearts} , for a heart flush to collect the whole side pot and half of the main pot. Phillips got the other half of the main pot with {3-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} in the hole, an 8-7 low. Heimiller got nothing.
