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}

{9-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

, after Long had bet x-x / {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

. Long called.

Hughes had the betting lead on fifth street and sixth street, catching {A-Hearts}

{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-?}

{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.
