ECHELE ACES CRACKED BY 6-7, OUT 6TH


Andy Echele limps for 50,000, Keith Heine calls, Bill Byrnes completes and Steve Green checks his option, one of the few hands at this final table to send four to a flop.

Echele makes it 250,000 to go - roughly a pot-sized bet after a preflop limp - Heine flats, and the other two challengers step aside quickly on the 6d 2c 6h
flop.

No slowing down as that's another 500,000 from Echele on the 7d turn. Heine looks to see how many chips Echele has, the two players talk about stacks, Heine moves in and Echele snap-calls off his 1,820,000 remaining chips, then echos out, "That's sick."

Echele - Ac Ah
Heine - 6c 7c

Limping with Aces gave Heine a spot to see a flop with suited connectors, he flopped trips and turned a boat.

Echele needs to catch an Ace to avoid elimination, but the river is 5c and Echele finishes in 6th place, cashing for $24,782.

Heine - who said he played through being ill on his Day 1A flight - is now the chipleader and the first person to reach 5 million chips.

Level - 26
SB Ante - 25000
Blinds - 25000/50000
Entries - 5/444
