Spano Doubles Through Higgs

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Robert Spano
Robert Spano

Robert Spano raised to 6,000 from the hijack and was called by Sam Higgs in the small blind.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Higgs checked. Spano bet 7,500. Higgs then moved all in relatively quickly having Spano covered.

"Ok," announced Spano, before making the call for his tournament life.

Robert Spano: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Sam Higgs: {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Spano had top pair and was in front against Higgs who was drawing to a flush.

The board would run out the {8-Hearts} and {a-Spades} to see Spano fade the diamonds resulting in a double up.
