Higgins Finally Wins Three-stage War against Toderita
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
In the space of a quarter of a level Simon Higgins has personally demolished the stack of Liviu Toderita, finally busting him with a straight preflop race, vs. Toderita's , spiking a king on the river.
More interesting, however, is the previous pot they played, where Higgins raised preflop to 14,000 and Toderita pushed forward first one stack, then the rest of his stacks. This was ruled as a string-bet (one forward motion or verbal declare otherwise you just bet the first lot) and he was made to call.
On the flop, Higgins set him in. Toderita shook his head and folded, admitting he'd had ace-jack. This was actually a lucky escape for him, as Higgins showed .
