Action picked up on fifth as Heikkila led with high board and both opponents called, including Blumenthal, who won his first bracelet just two days ago.
Heikkila led again on sixth now showing four diamonds, and both opponents called again. Seventh street checked through.
Cates announced kings-up before Blumenthal tabled A♣8♥5♥ in the hole for an eight-high straight. Heikkila could not find another diamond, and he mucked, conceding the pot to Blumenthal.
