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.
