Hiers Heading Up the River

We pick up a three-way pot between John McDonald, Phil Mader, and David Hiers. On the flop, the board shows {6-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. Mader checks from the small blind, and Hiers leads out with a bet of 3,700 from the big. McDonald calls, and Mader releases his hand.

Fourth street brings the {7-Spades}. Hiers grabs 8,000 chips and flips them into the betting area, matched quickly by McDonald.

The last card off the deck is the {A-Hearts}. Hiers bets 5,000, and McDonald instantly calls. He turns over the {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts}, having made his flush. Hiers throws out an expletive and then open-slams his cards onto the felt, revealing his {K-Clubs} {8-Hearts}.

David Hiers' two pair had turned sour, and he is down to his last 16,000 chips.
