Montes Gets There Against Heiberg

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Just before the break, Jose Montes called a raise from the big blind after Jeff Heiberg opened to 30,000, and the two were heads up to the flop.

The flop came {10-Spades}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, and Montes checked to Heiberg. Heiberg placed a bet of 75,000, and Montes called. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, and Montes check-called again, this time for 150,000.

On the river, when the {5-Hearts} came, Montes lead out for 225,000. Heiberg looked a little bothered, but it didn't keep him thinking too long, and he called. Montes turned over the {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a flush and Heiberg threw his {a-}{k-} into the middle of the table in frustration.
