Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Sam Higgs

Sam Higgs raised to 2,400 from under the gun and Frankie O'Dell three-bet to 3,600 next to act. From the hijack, Eric Kurtzman made it 4,800 and Gary Benson called in the cutoff.

Higgs and O'Dell called too as the flop landed {3-Hearts}{j-Spades}{q-Spades}.

Higgs led out for 1,200 and his three opponents called as the turn landed the {7-Spades}. Higgs fired out 2,400 and O'Dell and Benson called, while Kurtzman folded.

The river landed the {k-Spades} and Higgs bet again. O'Dell folded, but Benson called.

Higgs tabled his {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades} for the ace-high flush, and Benson mucked.
