Higgins Calls 'Weird' River Shove
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
The action was joined on a flop of 5?9?3?, with Simon Higgins calling in the big blind after Aliaksei Boika made it 8,000.
A Q? came on the turn and Higgins checked it to Boika. The Slovenian made it 13,000 and was again called.
The river was a 3? and Boika put Higgins all in with 73,000 remaining. "That's a weird river bet," Higgins remarked, as he pondered the call. He did make it and showed K?3? for trips, while Boika could only table Q?9?.
Higgins doubled up and left Boika with below starting stack.
