Heilman Holds Despite Dead Cards
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
A player in middle position made it 700 to go, and one player called from the button. Justin Heilman three-bet to 3,700 in the small blind, and the first player announced a call with his T5,000 chip already in the middle. He had his hands on his remaining chips, and the player on the button mistakenly thought he was all in and folded 
face-up. The two active players saw a 
flop, and Heilman put his opponent all in for the remaining 1,600 or so and the player shrugged and called.
Heilman: 
Opponent: 
Amazingly, Heilman held the other two nines, but he would be stone dead if his opponent turned a pair. That didn't happen thought as the 
turn was followed by an 
river.
