Higgins Climbing Higher After Taking Out Blevins
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 10,000 ante
Matthew Higgins raised to 40,000 in early position and in late position, Todd Blevins raised to 80,000 which saw only Higgins call.
The flop rolled out 9♥9♣6♥ and Higgins check-called a bet of 120,000 from Blevins.
On the turn Q♠, Higgins checked a second time over to Blevins who bet 120,000 once more. Higgins raised to 450,000 and Blevins went into the tank before calling.
Higgins moved all in for 400,000 effective and Blevins called to put himself at risk.
Todd Blevins: A♥4♥
Matthew Higgins: Q♦Q♣
A full house was good for Higgins as he neared 3 million in the counts while Blevins was eliminated from the tournament.
