Higgins Returns to Crack Aces
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Brandon Owens fired a bet of 6,300 on the 10♥5♠2♥ flop, with Rafael Lopez letting his hand go. Matthew Higgins, who had recently reentered, moved his stack of 16,200 into the middle.
Owens made the quick call, and the hands were turned up.
Matthew Higgins: Q♠10♠ 
Brandon Owens: A♣A♥
Higgins was at risk of losing another bullet, and Owens improved to a set on the A♠ turn. Higgins picked up a flush draw, which came in on the 9♠ river to stay alive and crack Owens' pocket aces.
