River Gives Heggelmann Chip Lead

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Niko Heggelmann
Niko Heggelmann

Niko Heggelmann opened to 6,500 from the hijack before Koppany Balogh made it 18,000 on the button. Heggelmann four-bet to 56,000 and Balogh paused. He waited about 30 seconds before moving all-in for 137,500.

Heggelmann, who was the covering stack, asked for a count. He eventually slid in his chips to set up the all-in showdown.

Koppany Balogh: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Niko Heggelmann: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Balogh had his opponent drawing extremely thin on the {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop and looked to scoop a massive double on the {3-Hearts} turn.

For some reason, Balogh called for a ten on the river. And that's exactly what came in the form of the {10-Diamonds} river.

The table erupted and Balogh congratulated Heggelmann who let out a huge sigh of relief.
