Heath Hits Quads, Doubles

Frank Visser

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

In a 160,000 pot between Dominykas Mikolaitis in the big blind and Ben Heath in early position, both players checked the turn on the double-paired K?9?K?9? board. The river came the A? and Mikolaitis now put a very small bet of 25,000 out.

Heath threw in a time bank chip before he raised that to a massive 390,000, leaving himself only 5,000 chips behind. Mikolaitis also tanked for a while before he put in a stack of chips to signify a call.

Heath showed 9?9? for the turned four of a kind. ''Wow!'' Quan Zhou exclaimed. Mikolaitis, however, could only show a hero call with A?Q?. This marks Mikolaitis' first time with a stack of under one million on Day 3, while Heath doubled up, almost reaching that figure himself.
