Heinz Heating Up

Pius Heinz was hovering around 15,000 for most of the day, but he has caught a heater in the last level, and his stack is ballooning as a result. In the last hand we caught, Heinz held {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} against a short stack's {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. The suspense was all but over when the dealer fanned out a flop of {j-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Spades}. The {2-Spades} on the turn ended things, and the meaningless river was the {7-Spades}.

After that hand, Heinz is up to 48,000, and will be looking to increase his stack even more in the last half hour of play tonight.
