Heath Doubles Into the Lead
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Pablo Brito Silva raised to 50,000 on the button and Alex Kulev inquired about his stack size before calling in the big blind. The flop brought 
and Kulev check-folded to a min-bet.
Kulev then got some chips back when he raised to 60,000 in the small blind, as Daniel Dvoress forfeited the big blind and big blind ante.
Kulev open-jammed the next button and this time, Ben Heath snap-called.
Ben Heath: 
Alex Kulev: 
The superior pair remained ahead on a 
runout as Heath doubled for 430,000 to send Kulev among the short stacks.
