A good opening break for Higgins

Sun, Mar 2nd 2008, 15:25 by Reporter

We were pleased to see our prediction that short-stacked John Higgins might not return for the final day’s action was wrong. He moved all-in on the button with 6 5 and was called by Neil Stewart on the big blind with K Q. A flop of 3 A J brought draws for both players but Higgins hit his first when 4 landed on the turn. The meaningless river was K and Higgins got a much-needed early double-up.

Early action

Sun, Mar 2nd 2008, 15:16 by Reporter

On the first hand of the day Kevin Stebbing raises to 5000. Immediately to his left Richard Lapwood re-raises to 15000 before John Dick moves all in from the button for 45200. Stebbing folds and Lapwood dwells up before deciding he can’t call. It’s a nice early pot for John Dick.
