Heitman's Aces Cracked, Left Extremely Short
Level 23
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
In the last hand before the break, German Team PokerStars Pro Jan Heitmann got one of the biggest bad beats you can get deep into a tournament.
In a battle between the button (Mark Wagstaff), and big blind (Jan Heitmann), all the chips went in before the flop. Heitmann had the starting hand of all starting hands; . Wagstaff had and a 1.7 million pot was up for grabs.
The on the flop, and on the turn, were safe for Heitmann, but the on the river crushed his dreams of making the final table and winning this entire thing. Well, he still has some chips left, but he'll need to make one of the biggest comebacks since Pieter de Korver's one big blind recovery to win EPT Monte Carlo a couple years ago, to get that trophy.
