Higgs Saves Some Money

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Sam Higgs raised to 5,400 from the button and was called by Jason Pritchard and Mladen Vukovic in the blinds.

The flop came {4-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades} and the action checked to Higgs who bet 8,000. Pritchard then raised to 22,000. Vukovic folded. Higgs called.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} and Pritchard led out for 27,000. Higgs called.

Both players then opted to check as the {5-Hearts} completed the board.

Pritchard tabled {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for a pair ace-high and took down the pot after Higgs showed {j-Spades}{8-Spades} for a pair with his jack-kicker.

"F***! Lucky the spade didn't come," said a relieved Higgs following the hand, after a flush card didn't appear on the river.
