Give Him a Hug

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Mike Hug
Mike Hug

Charles Croft opened the pot to 7,000 from the cutoff seat, and he found calls from both Bill Stradley and Mike Hug in their respective small and big blinds.

Three-handed, they took a flop of {K-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {5-Spades}, and the blinds checked to the raiser. Croft continued out with 11,500 chips, and Stradley check-raised to 27,000 straight. Hug then called all in for his last ~16,000, and Croft reraised to 61,500. That got him the isolation he was seeking as Stradley got the message and ducked out of the way. With Hug at risk, the cards were on their backs:

Croft: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts}
Hug: {4-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}

Hug was going to need some help, but none would come. The turn {7-Clubs} and river {8-Spades} were of no use, and his day is done. Croft is closing in on a milestone, up to 295,000 with that pot.
