The Defending Champ Gives It Up

We saw the ESPN cameras filming over at Pius Heinz's table and made our way over to discover he was contemplating a decision after betting 7,000 on a {10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{J-Clubs} board only to have his opponent raise to 20,000. There was about 20,000 already in the pot from previous action, so it was a fairly big hand.

Heinz thought as the cameras rolled, but ultimately he laid it down, which appeared to be a good choice as his opponent showed {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}.
