Rankin Heroes Heldens

Level 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action folded around to Sjors Heldens on the button, who limped in for the minimum 30,000. Small blind Rory Curtis folded before Daniel Rankin chose to see a free flop in the big blind.

The Broadway board of {10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{k-Spades} was dealt and Rankin checked to Heldens. Heldens bet 75,000 into the pot and Rankin called.

The turn {k-Diamonds} was checked around before the action got back to Helden on the {4-Diamonds} river. He decided to bet 200,000 on the board with four diamonds. Rankin thought for a while and eventually put in a single chip to signify a call.

Neither player had diamonds as Heldens showed {10-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a pair of tens. Upon seeing Heldens' hand, Rankin turned his holding over in an elated manner, showing the hero call with a pair of queens: {q-Spades}{8-Spades}.

Rankin chipped up to over one million, while Heldens was left with less than 20 big blinds.
