Back to Square One

Level 31 : 125,000/250,000, 25,000 ante

Eli Heath raised to 500,000 with the {Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Traian Bostan three-bet to 1,200,000 with the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}. Heath contemplated a move but folded.

Then, Bostan limped in with {A-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Heath checked the {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}. The {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop was checked. On the {10-Hearts} turn, Bostan bet and Heath folded to see the Romanian take a slight lead again.

Straight for Heath

Level 31 : 125,000/250,000, 25,000 ante

Eli Heath raised to 500,000 with the {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Traian Bostan just called with {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} to see a flop of {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Both players checked and Bostan bet the {J-Diamonds} turn for 500,000. Heath called with his straight and Bostan then check-folded the {J-Clubs} river.

Heath three-bet the next hand and that helped him back in the lead after quite some time of the heads up duel.

Important Pot for Heath

Level 31 : 125,000/250,000, 25,000 ante

Soon after coming back from the break, Eli Heath won a smaller pot with {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} versus {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} before taking a bigger pot off Traian Bostan.

Bostan min-raised with the {J-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Heath called with {6-Spades}{4-Spades}. On the {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, Heath check-called a bet of 500,000 and the {7-Hearts} on the turn was checked by both. After the {5-Hearts} river, Heath bet 1,100,000 with his straight and Bostan quickly called, then mucked.

Break for the Final Duo

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante

The next level comes to an end, which means the duo is heading into a 15-minute break.

On the {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs} turn, Traian Bostan check-called a bet worth 800,000 by Eli Heath with {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and his opponent only had {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, then gave up the {J-Diamonds} river to let Bostan win the pot.

Heath took some chips back with {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} versus {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} after firing the {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop for 400,000 and picking up a call before the {10-Clubs} on the turn saw him win the pot with another barrel.

Nothing much has been happening in the heads-up duel lately and the increasing blinds will soon make it more shallow.

Bostan Forces Fold; Then Chops

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante

Eli Heath raised to 400,000 with the {K-Spades}{5-Spades} and Traian Bostan called with the {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. On the {Q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop, Bostan check-called a bet worth 375,000 and then the duo checked the {3-Spades} turn.

After the {5-Clubs} river, Bostan bet 550,000 and Heath folded.

Soon after, the duo checked the {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} turn and Heath tried to take the pot on the {Q-Diamonds} river by betting 600,000 with {A-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Bostan eventually called with the {4-Spades}{3-Hearts} and they chopped it up.

Many Smaller Pots

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante

Eli Heath has grinded his stack back up to around seven million with keeping the pots small. One such example saw him lose the minimum when calling a min-raise to 400,000 with {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

Traian Bostan had the {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and continued on the {K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop for 400,000, Heath check-called. Both then checked the {Q-Spades} turn and {9-Clubs} river.

Soon after, a hand was about to get interesting, but the board came {2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{A-Spades} and the straight on the board chopped it up.

A Dry Spell

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante

As of lately, both players haven't really gotten any playable hands and the action has dried up. After checking the {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, Traian Bostan bet the {3-Clubs} turn for 400,000 with {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Eli Heath wasn't willing to call with {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for the gutshot.

Heath maintains the same stack without being able to close the gap to his opponent further.

Heath Climbing Back

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante

After a min-raised pot to the flop {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}, Traian Bostan check-called a bet of 400,000 with the {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Eli Heath had found top pair with {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. On the {10-Clubs} turn, Bostan found second pair, but check-folded to a bet of 900,000.

Soon after, Bostan raised to 400,000 with {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and folded to Heath's three-bet with {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. The Brit squeezed to 1,000,000 to claim the pot.

Bostan Extends Lead

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante

Eli Heath raised to 400,000 with the {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Traian Bostan just called with the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}. On the {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, Bostan check-called a bet worth 425,000 and did so again for 775,000 on the {3-Clubs} turn.

After the {5-Clubs} river, Heath gave up and checked behind with his busted gutshot to lose further chips.
