Higgins Avoids Disaster With Jacks

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

After a raise from John Hughes from under the gun, Matt Higgins three-bet to 7,000 in middle position, and was met with a four-bet to 20,000 from Hughes. Higgins thought for a minute, then called, leaving himself 45,000 behind.

Hughes bet 20,000 on the {7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, and Higgins flung {j-}{j-} up and towards the muck. Hughes responded by showing his {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for a flopped set of kings before raking in the pot.
