Heath Doubles In Huge Pot
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer raised from under the gun to 90,000. Ben Heath was in the big blind and paid the 50,000 extra chips to see the flop.
It came down J♠A♠6♥ and Heath check-called a 120,000 continuation-bet from O'Dwyer. He did the same on the A♣ turn, when O'Dwyer upped the ante to 320,000.
Heath then checked for a third time on the 3♦ river, after which O'Dwyer announced ''all-in''. Heath had 575,000 chips behind and was in the tank for a little bit. Eventually, he called it off and was elated when O'Dwyer showed Q♣9♣ for the failed bluff.
Heath had A♦10♣ for trip aces and doubled up. He now plays around the same stack as O'Dwyer, while Mikita Badziakouski regained the chip lead.
