Heath Has the Better Ace-High
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ben Heath raised to 4,500 in the cutoff and was called by Jean-Noel Thorel and Alex Kulev in the blinds. The flop came 
and the action checked to Heath who bet 3,000. Thorel called and Kulev got out of the way.
The turn brought the 
and both players checked through to the 
on the river. Two more checks and Thorel showed 
but Heath held 
for the better kicker to win the pot.
