Demetriou Chips Up, Heskin's Hanging Around

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

It's been a great run for Harry Demetriou in this level, as he's now sitting on more than 130,000 after eliminating Paul Barrass.

The action folded around to Dave Heskin who raised to 6,000 from under the gun before Barrass reraised all-in for 18,500 from the button. Demetriou pushed Heskin out with a four-bet worth 46,000 from the big blind before showing his hand down against Barrass:

Demetriou: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Barrass: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Board: {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

It was merely a bump in the road for Heskin, who was able to recuperate those lost chips (and then some) after sending Mike Ryan to the rail. Ryan raised to 4,200 from under the gun and Demetriou called, as did Heskin to go three ways to a flop that read {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Ryan pushed his last 2,100 into the middle and Demetriou called, only to quickly fold after Heskin raised to 22,800, flashing {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} before sending his hand into the muck.

Demetriou was right to fold, as Heskin revealed {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} for the nut flush against Ryan's {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. The turn and river were an uneventful {5-Hearts}, {7-Spades} and Ryan was eliminated. Heskin is back up to 47,000 in chips.
