Heinz Topples Big Slick; Palma Forgets Cardinal Rule

Level 2 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nicholas Palma

Quirin Heinz opened to 6,000 in early position and Matheus Machado three-bet to 28,000. Heinz called.

Heinz checked on the flop of 10x68x, and Machado bet 26,000. Heinz called. Both players then checked on the 3 turn.

Heinz checked once more on the Q river, and Machado bet 110,000. Heinz used a time bank and called. Machado could only show ace-high with AK, while Heinz showed J10 to win the pot with a pair of tens.

At the same table, Nick Palma lamented about a previously played hand.

"I forgot the cardinal rule: never bluff a fish. What am I doing?"
