Christmas Comes Early for Heikkila

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

The cards of Pavlos Xanthopoulos were all but gone and next to no chips were in the middle of the table while the stack of Markus Heikkila was counted. The Swede had his {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} still in front and doubled for 40,250 after a board of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. According to Kevin Killeen, who sits next to Heikkila, a raising war saw Xanthopoulos five-bet shove with the {K-}{8-} preflop to lose more than half his stack.
