Another Two For Higgins
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action was recapped by the table as Matthew Higgins was seen stacking up two players' chips after two hand confrontations.
A player opened to 14,000 in middle position which saw one player in the hijack call. Higgins three bet to 47,000 from the small blind and the raiser folded while the hijack moved all in for 107,000 which Higgins called.
Opponent: AxKx
Matthew Higgins: KxQx
The board runs out Qx6x4xQx10x and the three queens were good enough for Higgins to take down the pot.
The following hand the cutoff moved all in for 85,000 which Higgins called from the button.
Cutoff: KxQx
Matthew Higgins: 8x8x
The board ran out as no help to the king-queen and Higgins continued to rise up the counts as the night neared its close.
