Over on Full Tilt Poker table DSM, Matt Hawrilenko got some action from “thecranium” in a heads-up $1000/$2000 H.E.R.O.S. game. Just half-an-hour into the match, Hawrilenko found himself up over $100K on his opponent. That lead would not last, however, as “thecranium” would make a comeback over the next hour that saw his leaving the table with just a $3K+ loss after 340 total hands of action.
