Tens Were Kind to Heath
The first bullet was no good for Ben Heath and the second one saw him dwindle down to 25,000 very quickly. However, now the Brit has three times the starting stack and mentioned two hands that built his stack.
Hand 1
Hari Bercovici raised on the button to 1,000 in the previous level, Heath three-bet to 3,500 and Bercovici called. On the flop, Heath bet 5,500 and Bercovici shoved for 50,000 effective with to see Heath call with pocket tens and hold up.
Hand 2
A player raised to 1,500 in under the gun, Heath called and Bercovici called in the big blind. A flop was checked through by the trip. On the turn, the player under the gun bet 3,400 and Heath called, Bercovici folded. After the river, Heath raised from 6,400 to 25,000 and his opponent called only to muck when shown pocket tens for quads.
