Heads-up on a flop of 8♣6♣6♠ with a large pot already in the middle, Sam Higgs bet 90,000 from the big blind and Malcolm Trayner called.

Both players checked on the Q♣ turn and Higgs checked a final time after the 8♥ paired the board on the river.

Trayner announced he was all in, which was enough to put Higgs all in for his last 315,000.

Higgs didn't take long to lay his hand down and Trayner added to his stack, which is now at 2,200,000.
