Heino Back Up with the Big Boys

As we hurtle inexorably towards the dinner break, the number on the board is just 48.

The latest player to find themselves on the wrong side of the rope is Igor Pihela Jr, who confidently pushed all in with pocket :::Qc :::Qs over the top of a raise from Puja Heino – only for Heino to make the call with :::Kc :::Kh. There was no help for Junior on the :::3c :::Jc :::2s :::Ts :::Jd board, and he is now busto.

Day 1a chip leader Heino is stacking his chips somewhat unevenly, but it looks as though he’s at over 450,000 now.
