On the double paired board with a possible flush, Russler bet 40,000, enough to put Matt Berkey all in.

Berkey mucked his hand, and wished the rest of the table good luck before exiting.

With a beach towel wrapped round his waist, Joshua Heinzl raised to 1,400 from early position. He was called in multiple spots, with middle position, the button and both of the blinds coming along for the ride.
The flop ran out and action checked to Heinzl. He led for 2,600, and the middle position player and the big blind both saw a turn with him.
The on the turn was checked by the big blind, and Heinzl pushed the rest of his stack forward for 16,700.
