Frick Doubles Very First Hand of Heads Up Play
Level 33
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
The players had just sitten down when Karim Frick open-jammed his button for 3,900,000 chips. Heinrich made the call from the big blind and the cards went open.
Karim Frick: A♥8♣
Anton Heinrich: Q♣10♦
With Frick at risk, Heinrich had a decent shot at taking down the tournament after one hand of heads up play. However, Frick hit his ace on 6♠A♣2♦. The turn 10♦ brought some hope for Heinrich, but the 8♠ river saw Frick make two pair for the double-up and play continued.
