Higa Takes Down Early Pot

Herbie Teope

Level 1 : Limits 200/400, 0 ante

Charles Williams limped in late position during early action, but John Higa raised to 400 on the button.

The small blind, big blind and Williams flatted, leading to four players to the flop, which brought out K? A? 9?.

The blinds checked their respective options, putting the action on Williams, who bet 200 and saw Higa flat. The action then went to the blinds, and both players folded.

The turn produced A? to pair the board and putting a spade draw for both players to consider. Williams and Higa both checked, bringing the action to the river, which produced 4?.

Williams checked, but Higa bet, which Williams called to see Higa’s K? Q?. Williams mucked his hand, leading the dealer to push the pot to Higa.
