Heath Outplays Theologis on the River
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ben Heath opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 27,000, and Alexandros Theologis called from the big blind.
On the J♣9♥7♠ flop, Theologis check-raised Heath’s 24,000 continuation bet to 75,000, and Heath called.
Theologis then led for 110,000 on the 9♠ turn, with Heath sticking around once more.
When the 3♣ river hit, Theologis slowed down and checked, allowing Heath to seize the initiative with a bet of 295,000. The pressure was too much for Theologis, who folded to concede the pot.
