Sam Higgs: /

Julien Martini was ahead with a pair of deuces on sixth in three-way action and checked, as did Phil Hellmuth, and Sam Higgs bet. Martini made the call while Hellmuth opted to fold.
On seventh, Martini checked once more and a bet of Higgs won the pot uncontested. Martini wanted Higgs to show, who just flashed his cards for the virtual rail as nobody was standing behind on the balcony that overlooks the poker arena.
