Straight Flush for Heckathorn

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

We found Gerald Heckathorn getting an opponent all in on a board of {8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for about 10,000. Heckathorn's opponent showed {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, having turned a straight, but he was drawing stone dead against Heckathorn's {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, a straight flush.

Heckathorn's looking for his second Mid-States Poker Tour final table this season.

Ford a "Card Rack"

Joe Ford

In a bloated pot, a player in middle position checked to Joe Ford on a completed board of {6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, and Ford put the player all in for about 10,000. He called after some thought, and Ford showed {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} for top two.

"Card rack," he said as he scooped up the chips.

Pates Going for Number Two

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Ken Pates raised to 5,075 on a {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} board, and the player in the small blind who bet 2,000 made the call. Pates showed him {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a queen-high flush, leaving the player shaking his head.

Pates is looking for his second Mid-States Poker Tour win after taking down an event at Running Aces for more than $87,000 last year.

Peebles Sees the Gutter

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We found Thomas Peebles calling the all in of a player on a {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop. Peebles looked to have fired 1,000 and gotten two calls, and the player who jammed in the cutoff had 4,925. The first caller folded, but the second called after a lengthy tank. Action checked through the {5-Diamonds}, and Peebles checked the {q-Hearts}. His opponent bet 3,250, and Peebles mucked after some thought, seeing his opponent show {a-}{j-} for the nut straight, eliminating the all-in player. Peebles slapped some chips down in frustration.

Peebles banked a second-place finish at Mid-States Poker Tour Ho-Chunk to Ben Wiora in February for just over $66,000.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.
