Heinke Dusts Huang; Is Over Five Million
There was around 950,000 in the middle on a board reading 
and Philipp Heinke had bet 325,000 from the small blind. Action was back on him facing an all-in shove for 995,000 by Wei Huang, who was in middle position.
Heinke spent over three minutes thinking through his decision, uncertain what Huang could have. Eventually, he decided to make the call.
Wei Huang: 
Philipp Heinke: 
"Ace-eight. Sicko," said Heinke. He then came to terms with his situation: "I still have outs: queen or heart, dealer," asked Heinke. The dealer complied, bringing 
on the river to fill up Heinke to a flush.
"Yes!" said Heinke again on the quiet side, getting up and fist-pumping a few times as he paced a few steps away from the table. Moments later, he was sitting back down, adding another, "Let's go!" before sitting down and stacking his chips.
"You've been getting lucky," said another player at the table. Heinke responded along the lines of uncertainty, saying he never once put ace-eight in Huang's range.
Heinke then filled in the details from before the turn, saying that Huang had opened and was called by Giulio Mascolo on the button. Heinke three-bet and only Huang called, with both players checking the flop to bring action to the turn where stacks ended up going into the middle.
