With action folding to the players in the blinds, Ben Heath opted to limp in before Pieter Aerts checked his option, taking the players to a flop.
Heath led out for 8,000 on the 6♣8♦A♠ flop, and Aerts made the call.
The turn brought the 7♣, and Heath once again elected to bet, this time for 20,000. Aerts called again.
Heath continued his aggression, placing a smaller bet of 16,000 on the 4♥ river. Aerts responded with a raise to 60,000, which seemingly left his opponent with a decision to make. After using two of his time extensions, Heath went for a river three-bet, raising to 240,000.
Aerts waved the white flag, returning his cards to the dealer, conceding the pot.
