Heimiller Eliminated After Kings Cracked on the River

Chad Holloway

A player in middle position raised to 800 only to have the button three-bet to 3,000. Dan Heimiller then four-bet all in from the small blind for 12,100. The original raiser folded while the button made the call.

Showdown
Heimiller: {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}
Button: {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}

Heimiller's kings were far in the lead, and the {7-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {4-Spades} flop didn't hurt his chances. The {6-Diamonds} turn have the button a gut-shot straight draw to go along with his draw to any ten, so all Heimiller needed to do was dodge the river. Unfortunately for him, the {10-Spades} spiked on the river to crack his kings and put an end to his 2011 WSOP.
