Hand #49 – Dan Heimiller

Shamus

Dan Heimiller

The button is with Corwin Cole. The table folded around to Dan Heimiller in the small blind and Matt Matros in the big blind. Heimiller and Matros are our two short stacks at the moment, both with around 550,000. Heimiller completed and Matros checked his option.

The flop came {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

. Heimiller checked, Matros bet 75,000, and Heimiller called. The turn was the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

. Heimiller checked again, and this time Matros checked.

The river brought the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

. An intriguing board, for sure. Heimiller bet 150,000, and Matros folded.

Heimiller showed {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{5-Spades}

as he dragged the pot. He'd flopped the straight and slowplayed it, but those eights on the turn and river had muted Matros' interest.
