Heaton Applies Maximum Pressure
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Three players headed to a turn with a pot worth roughly 23,000 in the middle, and the flop action complete on the 5♠4♣4♥ board.
The dealer burned and turned the 7♠ turn, and Kenneth Heaton, in the big blind, placed a bet of 17,500. The player who started the hand under the gun folded, but Nicholas Beecher called from middle position.
When the river came the 10♦, Heaton applied the maximum pressure possible. Covering his opponent's stack, he moved all in, a bet worth an effective 47,300.
Beecher then spent some time in the tank, piecing together the action. Ultimately, he decided a fold was in order and tossed his cards towards the muck.
