Heath Turns the Nuts to Take Down the Pot
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Pieter Aerts opened from under the gun to 16,000, and Ben Heath in the big blind was the only caller.
The flop came Q♠5♥9♠. Heath checked, and Aerts continued for 33,000, which Heath called.
On the K♣ turn, Heath checked again, Aerts bet 80,000, and Heath called once more.
The 4♥ river saw Heath check, and this time Aerts checked behind, sending the hand to showdown. Heath revealed J♣10♥ for a turned straight, the nuts, while Aerts’ hand went to the muck.
