10. I finally gave out when Stazko was up about 150M to 50M
From the account I read online, Heinz induced Stazko to go for the knockout blow, and turned things around to win. I thought Stazko made a big blunder when he had the full house of Aces over Nines. Heinz had been the aggressor through the hand, betting with nothing. Stazko, in first position, got his full house on the turn and checked. Heinz bet and Stazko called, which was the proper bet, I thought. Then on the river a third diamond came up, Stazko put out 10 million chips, and Heinz folded.

I wonder what might have happened if Stazko had either checked or made a small bet, signalling a weak hand? Would Heinz have continued to be aggressive, and tried to chase Stazko off of a pretty good pot? I think Stazko should have checked the river and let Heinz put his own head in the noose, representing a diamond flush with a big bet. If Heinz checked back, Stazko wins the pot, but Heinz didn't have anything, after all, and the only way for him to win the hand would be to intimidate Stazko. Stazko's full house would win the hand regardless, but inducing a bet on the river from Heinz might have ended the tournament right there.
