Big Double Up For Biggers

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was joined with a complete board of {q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Spades} on the felt and nearly 200,000 already in the pot. The under-the-gun player led out for 30,000. Anthony Biggers, in the cutoff, moved all in for 233,500, which sent his opponent deep into the tank.

"I've got a straight," the opponent said to Biggers, hoping to get a read off of him. Eventually, another player at the table called the clock. As time was about to expire, he tossed in the call, putting Biggers at risk.

Anthony Biggers: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}

They both had a straight, but Biggers' was bigger, and he took down the pot with Broadway, scoring a huge double up to give himself one of the biggest stacks in the field.

Elsewhere in the room, Justin Bonomo was eliminated.
