Mattsson Goes Back and Forth to Bust Heath

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ben Heath
Ben Heath

Simon Mattsson raised to 9,000 under the gun and was met with an all-in from Ben Heath in the small blind for approximately 70,000. Mattsson made the call and was in great shape to start.

Ben Heath: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Simon Mattsson: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Mattsson's ace was in a dominant position but after the {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop, Heath had paired his kicker to take the lead.

Mattsson had picked up a gutshot straight draw though, and while the {2-Hearts} on the turn changed nothing, the {j-Hearts} on the river filled Mattsson's straight to give him the win and send Heath to the rail.
