Heaton Virtually Doubles

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With the turn showing 9♠7♦4♦A♠, Kenneth Heaton checked and then called a bet of 15,500 by Iaron Lightbourne for a decent percentage of the pot until then.

The J♦ followed on the river and Heaton checked again. Lightbourne now bet 50,000 and Heaton took a short while before he declared all-in for little more, Lightbourne instantly folded and then murmured that his opponent "has to have it".
