Robert Heidorn (pictured) raises from the cutoff to 27,000, defending champion Erkut Yilmaz calls from the small blind, and Charles Kassin calls from the big blind.

The flop comes Club AClub 8Diamond 3, and action checks to Heidorn, who bets 32,000. Yilmaz and Kassin both call.

The turn card is the Diamond 10, and it checks to Heidorn again, and he bets 105,000. Yilmaz calls, and Kassin folds.

The river card is the Spade Q, Yilmaz checks, Heidorn bets 340,000, and Yilmaz thinks for a while before he calls. Heidorn turns over Diamond JClub 9 for a runner-runner queen-high straight, and Yilmaz mucks.

Heidorn wins the pot — and takes the chip lead.

Robert Heidorn  –  2,263,000  (189 bb)
