, and Heflin checked. The preflop raiser bet 3,000, the button folded, and Heflin slowed played his set by just calling. The turn brought the 6, which completed some straight draws and put a backdoor flush draw on the board.
Heflin checked once again. His opponent fired 7,000, and Heflin contemplated his move briefly before check-raising to 15,000, leaving himself 14,500 behind. His opponent quickly called.
The 3 landed on the river, giving Heflin a full house. He went all in and was quickly called. He showed his full house and his opponent flashed a king for top pair.
Heflin was up to more than 70,000 thanks to the hand.
