Heine and Lyons Get Back-To-Back Knockouts

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Keith Heine
Keith Heine

All of the chips got into the middle preflop with a player in the small blind at risk for their tournament life against Keith Heine, who was in the cutoff. It was a classic coin-flip situation.

All-In Player: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Keith Heine: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Heine remained ahead the whole way as a runout of {6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Spades} improved him to a full house and earned him the pot that sent his opponent to the rail.

On the very next hand (and the last one before break), Pat Lyons saw himself putting a shorter stack at risk with {a-}{7-}. The other player had a better ace, but a seven came to bring Lyons up to 56,000 before dinner as well.
