Too Many Outs For Higgins as Tran Wins at Showdown
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Danh Cong Tran opened from early position and Simon Higgins three-bet to 2,800 from middle position. When it got back to Tran, he called.
They both saw a flop of J♥K♥2♦ where Tran check-called a bet of 3,800 from Higgins to see the K♠ turn, where Tran went into check-call mode again after Higgins fired 7,000.
When the 5♣ landed on the river, both players checked it down and Tran's flopped pair of jacks with A♥J♦ was good as Higgins mucked.
"Too many outs," said Higgins as the pot was being pushed in his opponent's direction.
