Perkins Short After Higgs Double

Level 2
: 0/0, 200 ante

Getting it in for his last 22,000, Sam Higgs held on an
flop against the
of Bill Perkins.
Higgs wasn't in as bad a shape as it initially seemed, with the ace also serving as the bottom end of a straight draw, with any nine giving him a straight.
The turn was the but the river
improved him to two pair and left Perkins short.
"I've still got my extra chippy," said Perkins. "When do I use it Jason?"
Jason Koon has plenty of experience in short deck tournaments around the world.
"Don't use it," he advised. "Play short."
