Kurtzman Scooped by the Aussies

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Eric Kurtzman (from earlier during the WSOP)

Eric Kurtzman from middle position, Gary Benson next to act, and Sam Higgs from the small blind all committed 1,800 preflop to see the {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop.

Higgs led out for 600 and Kurtzman raised. Benson called, as did Higgs before the turn landed the {3-Hearts}.

Higgs bet 1,200, and Kurtzman and Benson both called.

The river landed the {4-Diamonds}, and action checked through.

Higgs tabled his {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Hearts} for the high, Benson tabled his {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for the nut low, and Kurtzman flashed the {q-Clubs} before being scooped.
