Break it Up
Heinzelmann Has a Disaster
He and one other player saw a
flop and his opponent bet out 800. Heinzelmann made it 2,750 and his opponent dwelled up for a while. Then he made the call.They saw a
turn and Mr. Opponent checked before calling a 5,500 bet from Heinzelmann, rather more quickly this time, and then checked again on the river. Heinzelmann bet 11,700, but Mr. Opponent immediately raised to cover him. Heinzelmann folded in disgust and wandered off to break, closely followed by tablemate Erik Seidel who'd stuck around to see the conclusion of the big hand.
