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.
