They say never go broke in a limped pot, but that's exactly what happened to Max Heinzelmann, though admittedly he got it in as good as he could have hoped.
Ben Wilinofsky had limped in and Heinzelmann checked his option to see an 
flop. The German led out for 225,000 and Wilinofsky raised to 500,000 before Heinzelmann moved all-in for 4.025 million.
Wilinofsky looked vexed, "This is sick because I'm ahead of some of the hands you do this with..." He tanked a little longer and then finally said, "I call though."
Heinzelmann: 
Wilinofsky: 
Heinzelmann had started the heads up as a 70:30 dog, but now he was roughly the same percentage to double up and get back into the battle.
The turn was the 
making Wilinofsky's straight but handing Heinzelmann two pair and some outs on the river. The final card after what seemed like an eternal dwell from the dealer was the 
which did not change anything.
The consolation for Heinzelmann is a cool €500,000 which no doubt keep him from being too disappointed.
