Joshi Eliminated by Heath

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ben Heath
Ben Heath

Ben Heath raised it up to 40,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Sachin Joshi in the cutoff, who moved forward his last 215,000. Sergei Petrushevskii on the button asked for an exact count and reluctantly folded, as did both players in the blinds, while Heath snap-called.

Sachin Joshi: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Ben Heath: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades} runout provided no help to Joshi and Heath continued his rise on the leaderboard.
