Jeffery Courtney Doubles Through Dan Heimiller

[user40108]

In what was surely the biggest pot of the tournament thus far, Jeffery Courtney just took the chip lead by doubling through Dan Heimiller.

We caught up to the hand on the flop with the board reading {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{4-Diamonds}

. Heimiller led out for 100,000 and Courtney raised to 300,000. Heimiller moved all in and Courtney called. The players showed:

Heimiller: {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{9-Spades}

Courtney:

{A-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

Heimiller was on a bluff and drawing quite thin. The turn sealed the deal as it fell the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

. The river was the meaningless {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

and Heimiller pushed about half his stack over to Courtney.

Courtney is now the chip leader with roughly 1,280,000 while Heimiller plunges to about 710,000.
