Cooler River Sends Heath Over 100k

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

A small pot of around 6,000 ballooned significantly after the {5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs} board was completed. Gerald Heath in the small blind got his last 60,700 in with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for the nut straight, and his opponent on the button held {q-}{9-} for the smaller straight.

Heath, who recently took down the 2019 MSPT Wisconsin State Poker Championship in November, is one of the first in the room to hit the six-figure marker, while his opponent was whittled down to just a few thousand in chips.
