Heath Doubles Into Commanding Lead

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Four limped pots in a row brought the level to an end but the very last hand then took an eternity and shifted the momentum of the heads-up duel.

Ben Heath limped the button and Alex Kulev raised to 160,000 for Heath to call. On the {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop, Kulev bet just 70,000 for Heath to call and he then checked the {8-Clubs} on the turn. Heath bet 160,000 and Kulev came along, which led them to the {5-Diamonds} on the river.

Heath now moved all-in for 565,000 and Kulev instantly sighed before saying "yeah, I don't think I should fold this one." He asked for an exact count and ultimately made the call for most of his stack.

Heath revealed the {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for kings and sixes, and that was good for the big double as Kulev only had the {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a bluff catcher.
