Heidorn Bubbles in Brutal Fashion
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Poker is cruel, cruel game sometimes as Robert Heidorn has just found out.
Dmitry Kukhtarev raised from the hijack and Heidorn shoved around 625,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Kukhtarev, he called.
Robert Heidorn: Q♣Q♦ 
Dmitry Kukhtarev: 9♥9♦
Heidorn was a clean runout away from a very healthy stack and flopped top set on the 2♥3♥Q♥ board to pull further ahead, but Kukhtarev did pick up a flush draw.
That flush connected when the 5♥ landed on the turn, which meant Heidorn needed the board to pair on the river otherwise he would be eliminated on the bubble. Unfortunately for Heidorn, the K♣ wasn't what he needed, meaning he was out in 216th, one spot away from the money.
