Heimiller Takes the Chip Lead and Leaves Festch with Dust
Shannon Fahey bet 1,200,000 with A?J? from under the gun and was met with a raise from Dan Heimiller in early position for 3,200,000 holding Q?Q?. Ron Fetsch in the big blind cold-called with A?K?. Fahey elected to fold.
The flop came 8?7?3? and Heimiller bet 4,000,000 which was snap-called by Festch. The 8? paired the board on the turn and Festch led out for 5,000,000.
Heimmiller took a moment to process the preceding actions. Heimiller opted to click back with a bet of 13,000,000. Fetsch asked for a count of the bet and then announced all-in which was snap-called by Heimiller who was at risk for 17,030,000.
Festch needed an ace or king on the river to eliminate Heimiller. Instead, the Q? completed the board to give Heimiller a boat and the chip lead. Festch was left with 13 big blinds.
