Higgs Hits the Rail
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Malcolm Trayner opened first to act and was called by Kanaan Youkhanna on the button. Sam Higgs then shoved for his last 700,000 from the small blind and Trayner four-bet to isolate.
Youkhanna got out of the way and a showdown was held between Trayner and Higgs.
Sam Higgs: K♣Q♦
Malcolm Trayner: K♦K♥
It was the worst-possible matchup for Higgs' king-queen, and the A♥6♦7♣ flop left him drawing to runner-runner.
The 10♥ turn did give Higgs a bit of hope with a draw to Broadway, but the 9♥ river bricked out and Higgs was eliminated.
At the feature table, Chenliang Li was also eliminated.
