Demicki Leading; Higgs Lost in Space

Nível 16 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Daniel Demicki has increased his lead and now boasts double as many chips as Douglas Corning in second place. Sam Higgs is on the best way there as well despite just being "lost in space."

Fabian Geisel raised to 20,000 from the button and Higgs defended. On the flop, the shot clock timer ran out on Higgs who thought his opponent was first to act with the button between Corning and Geisel. He was then auto-checked on the flop and Geisel checked behind. On the turn, Higgs bet the pot for 44,000 and his opponent folded.

"I have a straight. Double six, five, eight," Higgs announced to add to the confusion.

Sam Higgs Eliminated in 4th place (AU$36,660)

zedmaster84

Nível 17 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Once again Sam Higgs has cashed, but the big score escaped the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia Pacific bracelet winner. He faced a limp and a raise by Fabian Geisel before jamming with pocket kings, Geisel called it off with nines and six-eight double suit to hit a nine in the window.

An up-and-down straight draw on the turn blanked and no king showed up on the river either to bust Higgs in fourth place.

Three-Handed Counts

zedmaster84

Nível 18 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Daniel Demecki still holds the lead even though he lost some chips while having more chips than Daniel Sequenzia and Fabian Geisel together. It is far from locked up though and the pay jumps between the three remaining spots on the podium are quite big to make for more careful play.

Jogador	Fichas	Oscilação
Daniel Demicki	665,000 -120,000	-120,000
Daniel Sequenzia	290,000 148,000	148,000
