Heath Extends The Lead
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Just before the blinds went up Mikita Badziakouski opened to 325,000 on the button and was called by Ben Heath in the big blind.
The flop fanned out 10♠5♥4♦ and Heath check-called a bet of 250,000 from Badziakouski. The 8♠ hit the turn and Heath checked again to Badziakouski who fired for 700,000. Heath made the call and the pair saw the 3♦ river.
Both players checked their options to a showdown and Heath quickly rolled over 8♥7♥ for a pair of eights and the winning hand when Badziakouski mucked his cards.
