Heath Takes One From Lerust
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
On the second hand of the level Eli Heath took a pot from Anthony Lerust, further cementing his position as the third biggest chip stack.
Lerust opened to 80,000 from under-the-gun, Heath smooth called and everyone else folded. "These should be some pretty strong ranges given we're nine handed on the final table bubble," said Joe Stapleton in the commentary booth. On the flop Lerust bet 100,000 and Heath smooth called.
The hit the turn, Lerust checked to Heath and folded when the Brit bet 180,000.
