Two Pots Go to Heidemann For a Significant Chip Lead
Carsten Heidemann raised to 15,000,000 from the button and Ramana Epparla called.
The flop came 3?5?4? and Epparla checked in flow. Heidemann quickly bet 15,000,000 and Epparla called.
The turn was the 3?. Epparla checked again and Heidemann quickly continued for 35,000,000. Epparla again called.
On the river 4?, both players checked. Epparla had to show first and said he had nine high. Heidemann turned over Q?8? for the queen kicker to the board two pair, and it was good enough to take down a big pot, taking the chip lead with 235,000,000 to 140,000,000 chips.
A couple of hands later, Heidemann raised again from the button, this time to 11,000,000, and Epparla called.
They saw another low flop, 2?3?6?. Epparla checked and Heidemann again kept his foot on the gas, betting 12,000,000. Epparla called.
On the 6? turn Heidemann got another check from Epparla and bet 20,000,000. Epparla called.
The river 5?, there was some confusion, as neither the dealer or Heidemann saw a check by Epparla. After a few minutes, the dealer checked with Epparla and he said action was on Heidemann as he had checked. Heinemann checked behind.
Epparla announced king high and Heidemann turned up Q?Q? to take down another pot and extend his chip lead.
