Higgins Displays Ton of Heart in Largest Pot of Tournament Thus Far

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The biggest pot of the tournament just took place and proved an awesome display of poker by both Kacper Pyzara and Simon Higgins.

It began when the latter opened the button for 2,000 and the former raised to 6,000. Higgins made the call and then called a bet of 6,000 on the {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop. After the dealer burned and turned the {4-Diamonds}, Pyzara fired out 16,000 and again Higgins called.

When the {4-Spades} double paired the board on the river, Pyzara led out for 55,000 and Higgins paused for a few moments before raising all in for 110,200 total.

Pyzara shot back in his chair and clearly wasn't thrilled with the turn of events. Over the next two minutes, Pyzara teetered back and forth between a call and a fold, oftentimes picking up chips and putting them back down. Eventually he shrugged, tossed forward a stack, and at that very moment Higgins began to rise.

Higgins showed the {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for nines and eights, but he seemed to know he was no good. Indeed, Pyzara held the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for a bigger two pair and the win.

"I knew what he had," Higgins told the table. "I didn't think he'd call. Nice hand."
