Halaska Doubles, Higgins Plummeting

The action has been crazy this afternoon and we found a huge pot brewing on the turn between former chipleader Ryan Higgins and Jeremy Halaska. A giant pot was already built and the board read {8-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}. Halaska checked and induced a bet a from Higgins then Halaska shoved.

Higgins had a pained look on his face and took off his hat in frustration. He announced a call and turned over {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs} for a flush draw. Halaska held {7-Hearts} {3-Hearts} for trips.

"Nice defend," Higgins said.

The river bricked for Higgins when it fell {2-Diamonds} and he shipped a lot of chips across the table.

Aaron Overton opened to 43,000 from middle position, Josh Brikis called out of the cutoff, and the dealer fanned {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Hearts}. Overton continued for 36,000, and Brikis called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts}, and Overton led again - this time for 49,000. Brikis again called.

The {9-Spades} completed the board, and Overton paused before sliding out a tower of grey T5,000 chips. The bet was 190,000, and Brikis looked him up.

"Flush," Overton muttered, turning over {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Brikis mucked his hand, and shipped Overton nearly half of his stack.
