Long Draws First Blood

[user75032]

After trading the antes and bring-in for a few hands, Ron Long and Ryan Hughes finally got involved in a pot to the river. Hughes raised fourth street, showing x-x / {9-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}, after Long had bet x-x / {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}. Long called.

Hughes had the betting lead on fifth street and sixth street, catching {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts} to Long's {10-Spades} {7-Hearts}. Hughes checked the river, then called after Long bet.

"Two pair," said Long, exposing {10-?} {7-?} {4-?} in the hole for tens and sevens.

"Two pair?" Hughes replied, a little surprised. He took a long look at his own hole cards, then dejectedly threw them into the muck without exposing them.

Ryan Hughes brings it in with the {2-Clubs} and Alessio Isaia completes with the {10-Hearts}. Hughes raises and Isaia calls.

On fourth, Hughes checks the {K-Diamonds} and Isaia bets the {6-Hearts}.

On fifth, Hughes bets the {K-Hearts} and Isaia raises the {6-Diamonds}. Hughes calls.

On sixth, Hughes bets the {3-Spades} and Isaia raises the {9-Diamonds}. Hughes calls.

On seventh, Hughes bets and Isaia calls all in.

Hughes: ({4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}){2-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Spades}
Isaia: ({A-Spades}{A-Hearts}){10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

Hughes has a set of kings and Isaia is eliminated.

Defending Champion - Sort Of

Ryan Hughes, who remains the chip leader in this event, won a bracelet in stud-8 here a year ago. Confusingly, though, the $1,000 Stud-8 event from a year ago continues this year as this $1,500 event, and Tom Schneider is considered the defending champion. The event that Hughes won a year ago was the $2,000 event, which did not return in 2008. The $3,000 event from a year ago morphed into the $5,000 Championship this year. Clear as mud?

Incidentally, Schneider did not defend his title in this event, as he was still in the $50,000 HORSE event past the registration deadline.
