Heath Scoops a Massive Pot
Level 8
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Yaman Nakdali raised to 10,000 from the hijack, Ben Heath called in the cutoff, and Juan Pardo three-bet to 40,000 from the button. Both players called.
The action checked to Pardo, who continued for 26,000 on the Q?9?4? flop. Nakdali called and Heath check-raised to 58,000. Pardo called and Nakdali got out of the way.
Heath slowed down on the 7? turn. Pardo retook the lead for 70,000 and Heath responded with a second check-raise to 164,000. Pardo made the call.
The 8? landed on the river and Heath placed a bet of 163,000; an effective all in with just 1,000 behind the line. Pardo made a quick call. Heath tabled A?10? for the flopped nut flush. With 1,000 still behind the line, Pardo was not required to show and slid his cards to the muck.
