A player in early position raised to 3,500 and Keith Heine three-bet to 9,000 from middle position.
A player called from the button (he thought it was only 3,500 to call, but put in the remaining chips when he was informed of the raise), as did the original raiser.
The flop came 10♦8♥2♣ and the early position player led for 15,000. Heine raised to around 60,000, enough to put the early position player all-in, and the button player folded. The early position player put in the calling chips and was at risk.
Opponent: 9♦8♣
Heine: A♥A♦
Although the 6♠ turn brought an additional sweat, Heine's overpair would go on to hold through the 3♦ river, eliminating his opponent.
