Heimiller Out

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Dan Heimiller
Dan Heimiller

With a board showing {q-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and around 7,500 already in the middle, the first player checked and Dan Heimiller moved all in. His opponent snap-called and the players tabled their cards.

Dan Heimiller: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
His opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Heimiller was in bad shape to double up as his opponent held top pair with a better kicker. The {10-Diamonds} river brought him no help and Heimiller was eliminated from the tournament.

Sinclair Wins Another Pot

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Jack Sinclair seems to have ultimate control over his table.

Sinclair opened to 1,800 and got calls from the players in the cutoff and on the button. The flop was {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and all three players checked to see the {4-Clubs} turn appear.

Sinclair made a delayed c-bet of 5,000 and just the player on the button called the bet. The player also called the 3,000 bet on the {10-Spades} river, only to muck his cards after seeing Sinclair open up {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

Phill Hellmuth is also on the table of Sinclair and has a little below starting stack.

Baumann Out

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Gaelle Baumann was already all-in on a board showing {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and with around 14,000 in the middle. Two other players were still active in the hand and they both checked.

On the {4-Hearts} turn, the player in the big blind bet 6,000 and his opponent pushed all in. The first raiser let it go and the remaining players tabled their cards.

Gaelle Baumann: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Her opponent: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Baumann's pocket pair was behind her opponent's better pair with the flush draw. The {q-Hearts} river was just salt in the wound, upgrading her opponent to a flush, and sending Baumann to the exit.
