Dan Heimiller Eliminated in 4th Place ($40,544)
Richard Ashby: / /
Dan Heimiller: / / (X)
Both players checked fourth street before Ashby bet out on fifth and Heimiller called all in. Heimiller's pair of fours were ahead up to seventh street. Ashby ever so slowly squeeeeeezed his last down card...
...and then cried, "YES!" immediately followed by, "Sorry," as his rivered gutshot knocked Heimiller out of the running.
Heimiller took it with good grace, and, trailed by his faithful railers, headed for the payout desk.
After Heimiller's exit the clearly overwhelmed and suddenly extremely perky Ashby called over to his friend Paul Parker.
"Did you see that squeeze?"
"Yeah," chuckled Parker, "You're never unlucky when you squeeze. Hey if you win this tourny that'll be like two big blinds!"
Ashby is an online cash specialist, playing at stakes that can only be described as nosebleed. Nevertheless he seems delighted to be back in contention for a WSOP bracelet.
