The flop was and after a check, Hachem, heads up for the side pot, put out a bet of 12,000. The other player called and the came on the turn.

Hachem was in trouble with just middle pair while Higgs turned two pair and the other player in the hand had top pair. The river was the though and with that, Hachem made two pair to earn himself the big side pot while Higgs took down the main pot to triple up with a better two pair.
