“Big” Al Hedin

“Big” Al Hedin got his 1.4 million chip stack in against Satish Thakur on a  jh 9s 10h flop.

Hedin:  js 7s
Thakur:  jc 10c

Thakur had flopped a monster on Hedin, who needed to hit a gutshot to survive.

The  6d fell on the turn, and Hedin needed a  8x on the river to stay in this match.

The river? The  3d!

Congratulations to “Big” Al Hedin on his second place finish after finishing sixth at the Iowa State Poker Championship last month! He pockets $43,864 for his efforts.

And a big congratulations goes out to Satish Thakur for winning the MSPT Indiana State Poker Championship for $71,047! A full recap will be up shortly.
