Thomas Has Heart

Russell Thomas opened to 250,000 from the cutoff seat, Jan Heitmann called from the small blind, and the dealer fanned {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {9-Hearts}, and Heitmann led for 210,000. Thomas called.

The {5-Hearts} completed the board, and Heitmann slowed down, checking to Thomas who fired 575,000. Heitmann called.

Thomas turned over {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for an ace-high flush, and Heitmann mucked his hand.
