Castaignon Drags a Monster From Higgs
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
After Sam Higgs had raised in middle position, Remi Castaignon three-bet to 140,000 on the button and Higgs paid the extra chips. The 
flop got checked by both players.
On the 
turn, Higgs bet 230,000 and Castaignon called it off after about ten seconds.
The river brought the 
and Higgs considered his options.
"Five-hundred-seventy-five," he announced, followed by a lightning-quick call from Castaignon.
Defeated, Higgs flung 
open for middle pair with a queen blocker. Castaignon revealed 
for a set of nines to scoop the near 2M chip pot off the Aussie and move into the lead.
