Heath Doubles With Hero Call
Level 14
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Nacho Barbero open-raised to 85,000 from middle position, and only Ben Heath called, in the big blind. The flop of Q♠6♣7♥ then saw Heath check-call the 100,000 continuation-bet of Barbero before he led out for the minimum of 40,000 on the 8♥ turn.
Barbero made the call and the 7♦ river rolled off. Heath reverted to checking again, after which Barbero opted to put his opponent all-in for his final 490,000 chips.
Heath had to use several time banks but eventually came up with a call. Barbero could only show a bluff with his K♣5♣, which Heath beat by calling off with 6♥4♥ for bottom pair.
He raked in the pot and left Barbero with just over ten big blinds.
