Bennett Knocks Out McHugh
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mark Bennett had opened in early position only to be faced with a three-bet jam from Turlough McHugh of 59,000. Bennett, who slightly covered McHugh, quickly made the call.
Turlough McHugh: A♥5♥
Mark Bennett: A♠A♣
McHugh was in trouble against Bennett's aces, but the 9♥2♦3♥ flop brought plenty of extra equity as McHugh now had flush and straight draws, giving Bennett a sweat.
However any hope was quickly extinguished by the J♣ turn and J♠ river, sending McHugh to the rail.
