Hein-Rich

It passed to Heinrich Mayr on the small blind, and with a stack of 147,000 he made the decision to move all in with {8-Diamonds} {9-Spades}, with only Paul O'Connor between him and picking up the blinds and antes. Unfortunately (for them both, one at a time) O'Connor held {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} and made the call quickly. Pretty sure what he was muttering was, "Oh sh*t oh shi*t..."

The board came {J-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {7-Spades} {7-Clubs} {10-Hearts}, however, pairing Mayr's eight and eventually giving him a straight, eliciting a "Go Heinrich!" from the crowd and a very loud, "YES!" from the man himself. Mayr now has 330,000, O'Connor just 200,000.
