Heinz Squeezed

Marc-Andre Ladouceur got the last 588,000 of his chips into the pot with {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}, and that was a very bad thing when chip leader Pius Heinz woke up with {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}.

Things got better for Ladouceur, but he had to sweat it out for five cards. The board ran {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, and the nine-ball in the corner pocket gives Ladouceur the unlikely double. He's back close to 1.25 million now, while Heinz falls from the top shelf, dropping down to 3.35 million.
