Heath Climbs Back to Starting Stack

Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante

Nazar Buhaiov made it 2,500 to go in the cutoff. Brian Breck flat-called on the button before Ben Heath squeezed in a three-bet to 13,500 from the small blind. Buhaiov and Breck both called, and the 98A flop was subsequently checked through.

Heath then bet 18,000 on the Q turn. Buhaiov made a quick fold, but Breck stuck around and added calling chips to the pot.

The A river prompted Heath to put his remaining 69,500 at risk with an all-in bet, but Breck swiftly added his cards to the muck to admit defeat.
