Brian Senie came into play with almost three times the stack of his nearest challenger. He has left the tournament in sensational fashion after min-cashing, courtesy of some Henrick Hecklen heat.
Three-way to a flop with 44,000 in the pot, Senie was in the small blind and Hecklen in the cut-off and raised over another player who bet 15,000 to make it 35,000 after seeing the flop fall 5♥5♠Q♠. Henrick Hecklen was the only caller to a turn of 7♠ which Senie pounded 75,000 after. Hecklen called. On the river of 2♦ , Senie shoved all-in for 310,000. Hecklen, now having a genuinely scary decision to make, pondered agonisingly over whether to commit three quarters of his remaining stack and leave himself 90k to try and spin up if he was wrong.
Eventually, having reasoned that ‘I probably won’t call this, but I feel like I should’, he trusted his instincts and pushed some chips over the line.
‘Nice call.’ said Senie with a nod, turning over A♠T♣ for the bluff.
Hecklen flipped 8♣5♣ for trips on the flop and raked in all of Senie’s chips.
Senie has the roundest number of all after coming into play at 2pm with a chip-stack that would almost be leading now. Henrick Hecklen has flown to the top of the chip-counts on 905,000 and is crushing this three-handed race for the final 18 players that will signal the end of play. There are 22 left in the room.
