Matt Higgins min-raised from the hijack to 60,000, Michele Lawson moved all in from the cutoff for 350,000, and Higgins quickly called with AdKc.

Lawson turned over As2s, and she needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 10d3c2hKs9d, and Lawson paired her deuce on the flop, only to see Higgins pair his king on the turn. Higgins won the pot with his pair of kings to eliminate Lawson in 80th place.
