Abussamra Gets River Value Out of Flopped Set

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Simon Higgins opened to 2,500 from early position and picked up two callers, Ivan Banic on the button and Elias Abussamra in the big blind. As Abussamra was calling, Higgins joked with advice.

"Oh, just let it go. [Banic] wants to win a pot against me," he said. Still, they would head there three ways.

The flop showed up monotone in the {3-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}. Abussamra checked, Higgins decided not to continuation-bet, and and Banic also checked the button.

The turn came the {k-Clubs}, once more all three players checked.

On the {7-Diamonds} river, Abussamra elected to lead for 9,000. Higgins thought for some time, then he put in the call. Banic folded.

Abussamra showed {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a flopped set.

" I saved myself," said Higgins, as he showed a {k-Clubs}. "I didn't think I had the best hand," he added.
