An Orbit with PokerStars Team Pro Pius Heinz
We saw Pius Heinz at a sandwich shop on the last break, so we thought we'd spend some time with him this level by featuring him in our latest An Orbit With...
Hand #1: Tauras Narmontas raised to 3,500 from middle position only to fold when Heinz three-bet to 9,000 from the big blind.
Hand #2: The hijack raised to 4,700 and Heinz folded from the small blind.
Hand #3: A raise and three-bet in front of him saw Heinz fold his button. Cedric Lardinois ended up being eliminated by Anders Hansen in the hand.
Hand #4: Action folded to The 2012 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final champ, Mohsin Charania, in the hijack and he moved all in for 14,200. Heinz folded from the cutoff, but Arjun Pasricha made the call from the big blind with . Mohsin was way ahead with the and received a double when the board ran out .
Hand #5: Action folded to Heinz in the hijack and he raise to 3,400, which Liya Gerasimova, who is PokerStars Team Pro Ivan Demidov's girlfriend and the winner of the ladies event here at the EPT Barcelona, called from the big blind.
Gerasimova lead out for 4,200 on the flop, Heinz raise dto 10,800, Gerasimova moved all in, and Heinz quickly called off for around 50,000.
Showdown
Gerasimova:
Heinz:
The 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event winner had an over pair with an open-ended straight draw, but it was way behind the flopped nuts of Gerasimova. Neither the turn nor river help Heinz and he was eliminated from the EPT Barcelona Main Event in Level 12.
With that, the orbit with Pius Heinz came to an abrupt end.
