Heroux Gets Full Payout
Level 1
: 150/300, 0 ante
On the tail end of a big pot with a completed board showing 
, George Chase check-called a bet of 35,000 by Maxime Heroux and mucked when he was shown 
for the nut flush. Xuedong Li, who had already built a profit early on, mentioned in table chat "I had the queen-high flush."
Chase dropped to fewer than half the starting stack while Heroux became the early chip leader.
