Castaignon Drags a Monster From Higgs

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After Sam Higgs had raised in middle position, Remi Castaignon three-bet to 140,000 on the button and Higgs paid the extra chips. The {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop got checked by both players.

On the {3-Clubs} turn, Higgs bet 230,000 and Castaignon called it off after about ten seconds.

The river brought the {2-Hearts} and Higgs considered his options.

"Five-hundred-seventy-five," he announced, followed by a lightning-quick call from Castaignon.

Defeated, Higgs flung {q-Spades}{j-Spades} open for middle pair with a queen blocker. Castaignon revealed {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a set of nines to scoop the near 2M chip pot off the Aussie and move into the lead.
