Level 15:  2,000/4,000 with a 4,000 ante
Flight D Players Remaining:  99 of 692

Through three starting flights the biggest stack was 582,000, bagged in Flight B by Zachary Fischer. There is still a while to go in Flight D as about 30 more players need to be eliminated, but Fischer is now second on the list as a tournament-chip-leading pot of about 590,000 was just played.

Picking up the action in the midst of the flop action, the board read 8h3h6d and the action was on Andrew Heckman, who was under the gun. He had already committed 16,000 postflop, and was facing a shove from Danny Suied for about 110,000 in the hijack and a reshove from Christopher Lovett in the cutoff for 221,000.

Heckman thought about it for a little while before ultimately putting in the chips to call.

Heckman:  AhAd
Lovett:  6h5h
Suied:  Jh9h

Heckman was ahead with his, but had a lot of outs to fade.

The 8s turn took away some outs from Lovett, but it was no matter as he nailed a two-out 6s river to make sixes full of eights, eliminating Suied and doubling through Heckman.

Christopher Lovett  –  590,000  (148 bb)
Andrew Heckman  –  150,000  (38 bb)
Danny Suied  –  Eliminated
