Jeff Heiberg, who sits second on Wyoming's all-time tournament money list has been spotted with one of the biggest stacks in the room.
He passed along a rush of hands over the last couple of levels that included flopping a set of sixes against his opponent's on an flop to bust them, making a king-high flush over an opponent's smaller flush, and to top it off, he made a straight flush as well.
Heiberg's heater has vaulted him over 100,000 in chips.
