Heckathorn Gets a Perfect Flop

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Three players put in 4,500 each preflop, and an {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop hit, leading to three checks. Gerald Heckathorn fired 10,000 on the {3-Hearts} turn, and the player in the cutoff, who had put in the three-bet, tanked a few minutes before putting his 11,000 stack in. Heckathorn called with {a-Spades}{9-Spades}, and he was fading three outs against {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. The river bricked off with the {10-Clubs}.

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Defending champ Peixin Liu evidently reconsidered and decided to use his final bullet.

Peixin Liu
Peixin Liu

Peixin Liu, the defending champion of Mid-States Poker Tour Canterbury, just busted out.

On a flop of {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, he got it in from the small blind for 9,150 and was called by his opponent on the button.

Liu: {q-}{j-}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}

Bottom two pair was way in front, and Liu seemed poised to double up as the {2-Diamonds} hit, but a {10-Diamonds} river gave his opponent a straight. Liu got out of his chair and put on his jacket, expressing his amazement at the beat before heading for the exit.

John Morgan
John Morgan

John Morgan lost the last 6,000 in his stack with {a-}{10-} gainst a player with {a-}{k-} and head to reenter.

At another table, Jason Seitz came out with about 10,000 over an opponent's bet of 2,100, leaving himself with just a few thousand behind on the {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop. Seitz's opponent called after a lengthy tank, and Seitz pushed in his last 3,550 on the {j-Diamonds} turn. His opponent called, and Seitz showed he was on the draw with {a-Spades}{q-Spades}. His opponent had {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} and was fading spades, aces and queens. The {3-Spades} was just the ticket for Seitz, filling his flush.

Matheson Busted

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

"Show me two nines," he said after talking himself into the call.
