Martinez Makes Mincemeat Out of Hughes

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
John Hughes
John Hughes

John Hughes moved his short stack of 87,000 all in from the hijack and Nikolas Martinez three-bet all in for 127,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded and the hands were turned up.

Martinez: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Hughes: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}

The {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop gave Martinez two pair and all but sealed Hughes' fate. The {2-Clubs} turn left Hughes drawing dead and he headed for the exit after the {6-Hearts} was run out on the river.
