Hand #206: Heinz Takes back the Lead

Level 41 : 800,000/1,600,000, 200,000 ante
Pius Heinz
Pius Heinz

Pius Heinz started the hand with the button. He raised to 3.4 million and Martin Staszko called to see the {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop. Staszko checked, Heinz bet 3.75 million and Staszko called.

The {A-Hearts} landed on the turn and Staszko checked. Heinz bet 8.6 million. Staszko made the call to see the final community card.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Staszko checked his option. Heinz sat riffling his chips for a few moments and then reached into his stack. He maneuvered some chips around as he decided on how much he wanted to wager. Eventually, Heinz slid out a couple stacks worth 16.8 million. Staszko gave it some thought, but then folded and Heinz's railbirds erupted in cheers.

Hand #210: Four-Bet from Heinz

Level 41 : 800,000/1,600,000, 200,000 ante

The button started with Pius Heinz. He raised to 3.4 million. Martin Staszko reraised to 9.5 million. Heinz didn't go anywhere. The crowd grew silent as Heinz started reaching for chips, much more than 9.5 million worth. He four-bet to 20.2 million and Staszko folded rather quickly.

Hand #211: Staszko Turns the Tides

Level 41 : 800,000/1,600,000, 200,000 ante

Martin Staszko had the button, and he raised to 3.5 million. Pius Heinz might be picking up the pace even harder here, and he made another reraise to 10.1 million. Staszko called the three-bet, though, and they went off to the {7-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {10-Spades} flop. Heinz continued right out into the pot with another 9.8 million chips. Staszko has been acting quickly today, and once again, he didn't waste more than 30 seconds sliding the call into the middle.

The {A-Clubs} dropped on fourth street, and Heinz reached for chips again. Any pot that goes past the flop is significant now, and another 21.3 million from Heinz made things quite serious. Staszko was undeterred, though. He raised all in for just over 60 million, and Heinz's cards hit the muck rather quickly.

That turns the tides once again, and now it's Staszko with more than 120 million and a healthy chip lead.
