Heddin in the Right Direction

Coming off a recent win in the $300 Black Chip Bounty, Austin Heddin is going in the right direction in Flight 3 of the $500K GTD Multi-Flight.

On blinds of 1,000/2,000/2,000, William Franzese opened to 4,500 from UTG. Austin Heddin was UTG+1 and put in a three-bet to 12,000. David Bradford cold-called from UTG+2.

Action folded back around to Franzese and he took his time before calling.

The multi-way flop brought 9♦5♥4♦.

Franzese checked. Heddin looked at the dealer and announced all-in. Bradford pushed his chips forward to put himself at risk with 105,500. Franzese folded tens. Heddin rolled over the nut flush draw and Bradford tabled jacks.

Heddin: A♦K♦
Bradford: J♠J♣ 
Board: T♠K♣ 

Franzese jumped out of his seat as the T♠ hit the turn and Heddin paired his king on the river. Bradford was eliminated in 27th place.

14 players will finish in the money with the final eight players advancing to Sunday's 1:00 PM Day Two Restart.
