The majority of the hand escaped us, but we happened upon Team PokerStars Pro Jan Heitmann's table with around 15,000 in the pot and a board reading 
. Both Heitmann and his opponent, Sweden's Bjorn Lundgren, checked, and the latter tabled the 
for two pair. It was good as Heitmann sent his cards to the muck unseen.

Looking at his iPad, not talking at all, that's one of the two faces of Matas Cimbolas. The other is a very talkative Lithuanian who entertains the whole table and has done so quite successfully in the last few months. Not only did he reach the final table in Deauville, but he also finished fourth in the World Series of Poker Circuit International Main Event in Marrakech last Sunday.
Many other scores are part of his resume and Cimbolas is definitely one to watch here on Malta.
