Small Ball

In the most action we've seen in 20 minutes, Jesse Hale completed from the button, and Dennis Meierotto knocked the table for the free flop.

It came {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. Meierotto bet out 20,000, which Hale quickly called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts}. In repeat fashion, Hale called another 20,000-chip bet.

Fifth street was the {A-Hearts}. This time, both men checked. Meierotto tabled {Q-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} for queens up.

"Augh, I missed a bet on the flop," lamented Hale, flashing a queen of his own. That little exchange of 50,000 chips is one of the biggest swings we've seen in heads-up play.
