Higgins Building a Big Stack
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Nozomu Shimizu opened to 12,000 from under the gun and was called by Tsugunari Toma from early position, Simon Higgins from the small blind, and Dimitar Danchev in the big blind for a four-way pot.
Action checked to Shimizu on the A♠J♦K♠ flop and he continued for 12,000. Everyone called.
The 7♥ fell on the turn and it was checked to Toma, who bet 55,000. Higgins called and everyone else folded.
Higgins led out for 75,000 after the 5♥ completed the board and Toma looked him up.
Higgins tabled A♥J♥ for aces up and Toma mucked — awarding the sizable pot to Higgins.
