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 {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} face-up. The two active players saw a {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, and Heilman put his opponent all in for the remaining 1,600 or so and the player shrugged and called.

Heilman: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

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 {5-Hearts} turn was followed by an {8-Hearts} river.

Garrett Runs Down Barnard

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Ernest Garrett opened for 400 in the cutoff and Matt Kirby called on the button. Joe Barnard three-bet to 1,600 in the big blind, and both opponents called. Everyone checked the {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop, and Garrett bet 1,400 on the {6-Spades} turn. Only Barnard called. Both checked the {3-Diamonds}, and Barnard revealed {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

"Two pair," Garrett announced showing {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for bottom two.

Straight No Good for Garrett

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

John Streese bet 1,800 from the small blind on a {4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Spades} flop against two players, and only Ernest Garrett called. The turn brought the {2-Spades}, and Streese bet 3,800 and received another call. He fired 4,400 more on the {3-Clubs} river, and Garrett tossed in a call.

Streese showed {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for the nut flush, and Garrett turned up {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a wheel.

Bryan Errs Out

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

We found Jeff Bryan all in with {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} on a {3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop against the {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} of his neighbor. Bryan had about 12,000 and busted out when the board ran out {9-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. From the sound of the chatter after the hand, it seemed Bryan had committed his chips in error, as his opponent bet 3,500 on the flop with three yellow T1,000 chips that Bryan mistook for green T25 chips. He put in 575 and ended up committing himself after unknown action, according to the table.
