Hand #73 – Dan Heimiller

Dan Heimiller raised to 150,000 from the button, and Farzad Rouhani, perhaps looking to get something back after that last blind-vs.-blind skirmish with Heimiller, called him from the small blind. Scott Sitron folded from the big blind, and we were heads up to the flop.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Rouhani checked, and Heimiller quickly bet 175,000.

Rouhani hemmed and hawed, then folded, showing ace-ten as he did.

Hand #72 – Dan Heimiller

The button is with Corwin Cole. The action folded to Dan Heimiller who completed from the small blind. Farzad Rouhani checked his option in the big blind and the two saw a flop of {2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

Heimiller checked to Rouhani who fired 75,000 into the middle. Heimiller deliberated before casually making the call.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Heimiller once again checked to Rouhani who bet out 175,000. Heimiller instantly moved all in for 365,000 in total. Rouhani thought for a few moments and then said, “Take it down!” as he tossed his cards into the muck to give Heimiller the pot.

Hand #70 – Dan Heimiller

The button is with Scott Sitron. Dan Heimiller moved all in for 450,000 from under the gun. The table quickly folded around and Heimiller adds some more blinds and antes to his short stack.

Hand #69 – Farzad Rouhani

Corwin Cole raised from under the gun to 125,000, and it folded to Farzad Rouhani on the button. Rouhani stood up to get a look at Cole's chips before making the call. The blinds folded.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Cole checked, Rouhani bet 225,000, and Cole quickly folded.

Hand #68 – Dan Heimiller

The button is with Dan Heimiller. The action folded to Heimiller who thought for a few moments before moving all in for 360,000. The blinds fold and Heimiller collects the blinds and antes.

Hand #67 – Farzad Rouhani

Corwin Cole raised to 125,000 from the button, and Farzad Rouhani called from the big blind.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Rouhani checked, Cole bet 175,000, and Rouhani called. The turn was the {A-Clubs}, pairing the board. Rouhani carefully counted out 13 green chips -- a bet of 325,000. Cole studied the board a short while, then let it go.

Hand #64 – Matt Matros Eliminated in 6th Place ($148,875)

Matt Matros - 6th Place
Matt Matros - 6th Place
The button is with Farzad Rouhani. Corwin Cole opened with a raise from under the gun to 125,000 and Matt Matros moved all in for 690,000 in total. Cole quickly made the call and the cards were tabled.

Cole: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Matros: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The flop of {4-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{9-Spades} was huge for Cole giving him a pair of nines and nut flush draw to leave Matros drawing thin.

The turn landed the {10-Hearts} to complete the flush and leave Matros drawing dead.

Another heart arrived on the river with the {J-Hearts} to eliminate Matt Matros in 6th place for $148,875.
