Higgs Can't Shake Romero

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

From the big blind, Sam Higgs checked the {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop to James Romero, who bet 160,000 on the button. Higgs check-raised to 330,000 and Romero called before the {j-Spades} landed on the turn. This time, Higgs fired out a hefty 850,000 and Romero got the clock called on him after several minutes. Before the countdown started, he called the bet.

The {6-Spades} on the river went check/check and Higgs showed {q-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for nothing more than queen-high. Romero tabled {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} to move up to 7 million in chips.
