Chipleader Andrew Heckman

Nobody has busted out in the first half hour of play today, and there are still 15 players remaining.

Shai Arbel raised from the hijack to 475,000, and chipleader Andrew Heckman called from the small blind. The flop came 10s6d3c, Heckman checked, Arbel bet 475,000, and Heckman called.

The turn card was the Qc, and both players checked.

The river card paired the board with the 6s, Arbel bet 975,000, and Heckman snap-called. Arbel showed Ac6c for rivered trip sixes, and Heckman mucked. Arbel won the pot, cutting in a bit into Heckman’s lead.

Shai Arbel  –  8,500,000  (43 bb)
Andrew Heckman  –  16,700,000  (84 bb)

A few minutes later, Heckman min-raised from the cutoff to 400,000, Jesse Lonis reraised from the big blind to 1,300,000, and Heckman tanked for a while before he called.

The flop came Kh7s3d, Lonis bet 925,000, and Heckman called. The turn card was the 2d, Lonis checked, and Heckman bet 2.5 million, which was enough to put Lonis all in.

Lonis tanked for a while before he folded, forfeiting the pot to Heckman. Lonis asked if Heckman had king-queen, and Heckman said no.

Heckman said, “If I had two threes, I’d let you hang yourself on the river.”

Andrew Heckman  –  19,300,000  (97 bb)
Jesse Lonis  –  2,400,000  (12 bb)
