After multiple players called in front of him, Keith Heine raised to 24,000 in the small blind which saw only one player in middle position look him up.

The flop rolled out 10♦9♥7♥ and Heine continued for 30,000. His opponent responded by moving all in for 110,000 and Heine went into the tank. After debating for a bit, Heine called for most of his chips while putting his opponent at risk.

Opponent: 5♦5♠
Keith Heine: A♣10♣

The board ran out 8♥9♣ and the ace-ten held up as the best hand while Heine took down a massive pot.
