Heath First Out
Level 2
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
The action was picked up on the flop with 78,000 in the middle on a board of Q♣8♠5♥. Ben Heath, in the small blind, check-called the 26,000-chip bet from Emilien Pitavy, sitting under the gun.
The turn came the J♦ and Heath once again check-called Pitavy's bet, this time for 90,000.
Heath checked a third time on the 5♠ river, and Pitavy announced all in, putting Heath's remaining 250,000 chips and tournament life in play. Heath made the call, tabling A♦A♥, which was no good versus the 10♠9♠ for a queen-high straight of Pitavy.
