Heinz Holds

Over at the ESPN featured table sits last year's Main Event champ, Pius Heinz. We don't know exactly how the action went, but the flop read {A-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} and Heinz moved all in for 7,775. Action moved over to Heinz's opponent who took about a minute deciding his course of action. In the end he opted to call and threw out the right amount of chips to put Heinz at risk. Cards were then tabled and it was Heinz who was ahead.

Heinz: {J-Spades}{4-Spades}
Opponent: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}

Both players had flopped flushes, but it was Heinz's that was superior. A {7-Hearts} on the turn, and a {8-Diamonds} on the river sealed the deal and Heinz doubled up to around 27,500.
