Andrew Lichtenberger and Pius Heinz put in 4,200 each before the flop. The first three community cards came down 
with Lichtenberger having to act first. He bet 4,200. Heinz took a few moments and then made the call.
Fourth street was the 
and completed a possible flush draw. Lichtenberger fired a bet worth 7,200. After a minute, the reigning World Series of Poker Main Event champion and Team PokerStars Pro called.
The river card was the 
. Lichtenberger opted to check, which prompted Heinz to move all in for around 20,000. Lichtenberger quickly called and Heinz didn't like that one bit. He almost instantly mucked his hand while Lichtenberger tabled the 
for a king-high straight.
Heinz was left with nothing but the felt in front of him and eliminated from the tournament. We'll see if he re-enters or not. Lichtenberger is up to nearly three times the starting stack.
