Event 50 - Final Table - Heads-Up Begins! 1 year ago

Heads-up play has begun with the elimination of Dan Heimiller in third place. These two have enough chips to play a bit of poker so, without the help of two big hands clashing, we could be in for a match.

Read on for the details on that elimination, and some other goodies.

Heads-Up Hand of Note

The first substantial pot we’ve seen in this heads-up match started with David Daneshgar limping his button and Scott Sitron checking his option. The flop came down Kc 8s 2s and Sitron fired $100,000. Daneshgar raised to $380,000 and got a call.

The turn was the Td and Sitron opted to check. Daneshgar kept the pressure on with a $700,000 bet which was enough to force Sitron out of the hand.

Scott Sitron $4,220,000
David Daneshgar
$3,875,000

Heimiller Heimlich’d (Third)

Dan Heimiller has been eliminated, paving the way for heads-up play between Scott Sitron and David Daneshgar. Heimiller’s last hand began with a raise to $225,000 from the button. David Daneshgar got out of the way and Heimiller thought for a moment before announcing all-in.

It was about $1.6 million total and after some thought Daneshgar made the call. As Tc for Daneshgar was in great shape against Heimiller’s Ac 3c. The flop rolled out Jc Ts 4h and things were looking bad for the all-in Heimiller.

The board finished out Jh 5c and that was all she wrote for Mr. Heimiller. He takes $275,695 for is third place finish.

Daneshgar Takes the Lead

In a big hand that was played entirely pre-flop David Daneshgar has taken the chip lead from Scott Sitron. It began with Daneshgar opening from the button to $250,000. Dan Heimiller called from the small blind but Sitron re-popped to $700,000 from the big blind.

Daneshgar thought for a few moments before announcing raise, making it $1.7 million total. Heimiller quickly got out of the way and, after a short dwell, Sitron did the same. Daneshgar is now up close to $3.5 million.
