Higgs and Castaignon Collide In Another Massive Pot

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Not long ago, Sam Higgs had tripled up with a short stack after he lost a big pot to Remi Castaignon. Since then, Higgs moved back to a big stack and now won an enormous pot to take revenge on Castaignon in a setup hand.

Higgs had raised from the cutoff and Castaignon called on the button to see the {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop, on which Higgs bet 65,000 and Castaignon called. On the {k-Spades} turn, Higgs check-raised from 230,000 to 500,000 and Castaignon came along to see the {8-Clubs} on the river.

Higgs now took some time before announcing a bet of 1,000,000 with some chips behind and Castaignon quickly called. The Aussie flipped over {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and Castaignon mucked {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a flopped full house that fell behind on the turn.
