Heath Doubles To Take Chip Lead
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
In a limped pot preflop on a flop of A?8?7?, Mikita Badziakouski checked from the big blind to Ben Heath on the button who bet out 120,000, which Badziakouski called.
The 5? hit the turn and Badziakouski checked a second time to Heath who sized to 600,000. Badziakouski took a moment before announcing all in, covering the 2,735,000 stack of Heath, who quickly called.
Ben Heath: A?Q?
Mikita Badziakouski: 9?4?
Heath was well in the lead with his top pair against the flush and straight draw for Badziakouski. The river fell the Q? and Heath dodged the outs of Badziakouski to secure the full double up and take the chip lead.
