Heiligenthaler Flops the Nuts

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A completed board reading {9-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades} lay in the middle of the table in a hand involving Matt Heiligenthaler in the small blind and a heads-up opponent in early position.

There was about 43,000 in the pot and Heiligenthaler bet 16,000. His opponent took a few moments before making the call. Heiligenthaler tabled the {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the nuts and his opponent quickly mucked.

McLean Check-Shoves the Flop

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Four players including Paul McLean paid 2,800 to see a {6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop. McLean checked from the small blind, the original raiser checked, and the player in late position moved all in for 17,200. The player on the button flatted the shove and then McLean jammed over the top for 50,000.

The middle position player folded and after a short amount of time in the tank, the player on the button folded as well.

Paul McLean: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

McLean had his opponent drawing slim and would be drawing dead when the {3-Diamonds} hit the turn. The {10-Hearts} river secured the pot for McLean who happily raked it in.

John Abraham fired 13,000 on the flop of a {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} board and was called by Leo Kaplin in late position and Tim Cavallin check-calling from the big blind. All three players checked the {9-Clubs} on the turn to see the {k-Clubs} complete the board on the river.

Cavallin fired 25,000 and Abraham moved all in having Cavallin covered. Kaplin quickly folded and Cavallin snap-called for his remaining 62,600.

Abraham tabled the {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} rivering a set of kings but Cavallin nailed a backdoor flush with the {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and collected the pot.
