Heimiller Takes Chips from "The King"

Stud

Dan Heimiller continues to build an impressive stack. We came upon a recent hand on fourth street, as Michael "MJ the King" Cooper bet out showing . Andrey Zaichenko, Dan Heimiller and Dan Kelly all called. Heimiller paired his board on fifth street, now showing . He bet out, Kelly folded, Cooper called, and Zaichenko folded. Heimiller and Cooper took sixth street heads up. Heimiller bet again, and then again on seventh street, with Cooper calling both times.

Showdown:
Dan Heimiller: /
Michael Cooper: /

Heimiller announced, half-jokingly, as he turned his cards over, "Three pair beats two pair." More importantly for Heimiller, though, two pair beats one pair. Heimiller held two pair, tens and fives, with an extraneous pair of fours. His two pair was enough to beat Cooper's pair of aces.
