Hand #115 -

Ray Sukkar has the button in Seat 9.

He opens with a raise to 200,000. Tim Heath moves all in for 560,000. Facing a decision for 360,000 more chips, Sukkar tanks for a minute or two and then does indeed make the call, having Heath's fate in his hands.

Showdown:
Sukkar: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Heath: {A-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}

The flop runs fairly safe for Heath, coming out {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {7-Spades}. The turn pairs the board with the {9-Clubs}, keeping Heath in the lead.

River: {J-Diamonds}

Disaster finds the all-in Tim Heath on the river, as the jack fills up Sukkar's straight, earning him the knockout. Tim Heath put on a good show here in the Main Event, and he'll pocket $32,800 AUD for his work.

After knocking out Heath, Ray Sukkar increases his chip lead, and he is up to 2,485,000.
