Heath Turns a Straight In Big Pot
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski opened to 180,000 from the small blind and Ben Heath came along in the big blind.
The flop came 9?7?6? and Badziakouski continued for 140,000, which Heath called. On the 8? turn Badziakouski slowed down with a check and Heath took the lead with a sizing of 350,000. Badziakouski took some time, but eventually made the call.
The J? completed the board and both players checked to a showdown. Badziakouski rolled over 9?8? for two pair but was no good against Heath's J?5? for the bottom end of the straight to scoop the pot.
