Deuces Hold for Gorham to Eliminate Higgins
Level 18
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
With only 30,000 chips remaining, Matthew Higgins raised all-in and James Gorham in the big blind called.
Matthew Higgins K♥8♣ 
James Gorham 2♥2♠
The flop was no help for Higgins when it ran out 6♥5♣3♣, however the 9♠ turn did give Higgins some extra outs. Now being able to hit a seven for a straight, to go along with a king or an eight. Unfortunately for Higgins, the river was the 10♥, and the deuces held for Gorham, and he eliminated Higgins from the tournament.
Gorham will face the winner of the Michael Shi and Nikolai Mamut match, tomorrow in round three.
