Heinz 66
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Jose Garnes opened the pot with a raise in early position, and Pius Heinz three-bet shoved for 23,100 from the button. Garnes made the call with his covering stack, and the two men were flipping for Heinz's tournament life.
Showdown
Garnes: 
Heinz: 
The 
flop brought a nod of approval from Heinz, and the turn 
and river 
kept him safe. That's a double for the November Niner, and he's back close to 50,000 in his bid for an EPT final table as well. Still a long way to go, though.
