Koplimaa Doubles Higgins
Level 2
: 300/600, 75 ante
Simon Higgins was down to below half a starting stack but now is closer to where he started after he doubled off Markku "ExVang" Koplimaa.
The hand began with Koplimaa opening for 1,380 from under the gun and Higgins calling from the hijack.
Koplimaa check-called a bet of 2,816 after the 
came on the flop. Koplimaa led out for 7,825 after the 
turn put three clubs on the board and Higgins called.
Koplimaa then jammed enough to cover the 26,305 left in Higgins stack after the 
completed the board on the river and got bad news after Higgins called.
Higgins turned over 
for the nut-flush and doubled-up against Koplimaa's 
.
