Matt Higgins Moves in On Mike Gracz
Event #1 winner Matt Higgins opens to 1,400 in middle position, and Mike Gracz three-bets to 4,100 a couple seats over. Higgins calls, as the rest of the table wanders away for dinner break.
The flop is . Higgins checks, Gracz continues for 3,200, and Higgins check-raises all in with the larger stack. Gracz has about 13,000 chips left in front of him, and he tanks for several minutes before surrendering his cards into the muck.
"All right, one time," Higgins says, sliding his cards over to his opponent for review. Gracz peeks, seems satisfied with what he sees, and heads off to dinner.
Higgins is among the chip leaders as he departs, too.
Matt Higgins - 105,000
Mike Gracz - 13,000
