There have been several casualties already on table 17 and that included Martin Ward and 2014 WSOP APAC bracelet winner Sam Higgs.

After spending the previous days with high stakes PLO cash games at Crown Casino, Higgs late-regged on Day 2 and immediately lost half of his stack. He then doubled through Ali Ghezelbash with quads nines, holding {Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} on a board of {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}{Q-Spades}{9-Hearts} when the last 9,900 went in after the river.

Soon after, however, the seat that formerly belonged was empty and Ghezelbash had far more in chips. According to Ghezelbash and other players at the table, a three-way flop of {Q-}{J-}{10-} was checked and they got it in on the {4-Hearts} turn. A short stack held {K-}{10-} for a pair, open-ender and flush draw. Higgs isolated with {A-}{Q-} for top pair and a gutshot, while Ghezelbash snap-called with {A-}{K-} for the nut straight. There was no upset on the river and Ghezelbash jumped well above the average.
