Heine Hellmuth's His Way to a Double
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Keith Heine raised to 1,800 from under the gun, and the button called. Austin Tjaden three-bet to 6,200 from the small blind, and both Heine and the button called.
Tjaden checked the 
flop to Heine, who bet 5,500. The button folded, and Tjaden check-raised all in. Heine instantly shoved his remaining 43,500 in chips forward, with good reason.
Keith Heine: 
Austin Tjaden: 
Heine flopped top set, but still had to fade the nut flush draw of Tjaden. Heine locked up the hand on the 
turn, and after the 
river, he responded to a fellow player's comment that his call was "Hellmuthian in nature" by saying, "I haven't had a hand like that all week!"
