Higgs Spikes Three-Outer for the Lead

Level 35 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Sam Higgs - Stefano Schiano Heads Up
Sam Higgs - Stefano Schiano Heads Up

Stefano Schiano has won the majority of small pots played in the past five minutes, which left Sam Higgs at 11,600,000 when the biggest hand of the tournament occurred. It started when Higgs limped in and Schiano who raised to 1,300,000.

Higgs then limp-shoved all in and Schiano called after nearly a minute.

Sam Higgs: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Stefano Schiano: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The crowd got on their feet and hugged the rail in anticipation of what was about to come. The {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop was safe for the Italian but the {5-Spades} on the turn sparked a loud "oooh" across the Salle des Etoiles. The river was the {8-Clubs} and like a true Houdini, Higgs escaped again.
