Heissenberger Earns Some Chips

The flop read {5-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and the small blind fired out a bet of 4,800 into Andreas Heissenberger in late position. Heissenberger made the call and added to the already large pot. We don't know how the action went preflop, but there was at least one raise and call, due to the size of the pot.

The {a-Clubs} on the turn slowed down the small blind, but seemingly awoke Heissenberger who bet out 7,000. The small blind made the call and both players were granted access to the river.

After the {6-Hearts} fell on the river the small blind again checked. Heissenberger opted to move all in, a bet that would essentially put the short stacked small blind all in. After a few quick seconds the small blind made the call.

Heissenberger: {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Small Blind: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The small blind had two pair aces and fives, but that was only second best to Heissenberger's three of a kind fives. With that hand Heissenberger moves into the top 10 in chips.
