The Players Check Some Flops

So far, a few pots have been traded between the players, with Mikita Badziakouski coming out slightly ahead.

In a limped pot, the flop of 7♣J♦8♣ went check-check, before Badziakouski made a big bet of 320,000 on the K♦ turn. Ben Heath made the call and a 2♦ was dealt as the river. Badziakouski fired another 675,000 into the pot and Heath quickly folded.

During another hand, Badziakouski limped his button and Heath checked his big blind. Both players then checked the 9♠J♥5♣ flop before Badziakouski bet 80,000 on the 9♥ turn. Heath made the call, after which both players checked the 6♣ river again. Heath showed K♦5♠ and that was enough to win the pot.

In the next hand, Heath limped from the button and Badziakouski checked the big blind. The 8♦Q♥K♣ flop was once again checked through. This time, Heath was the aggressor on the 2♠ turn as he fired 160,000 after another check from Badziakouski. Badziakouski made the call before both knuckled the table on the 3♠ river.

Badziakouski tabled Q♦6♣ and his second pair won him the pot.
