Hughes' River Call Gets a Muck
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Three ways on a flop of 8♣2♣9♦, Ryan Hughes checked from the small blind and another player checked in middle position. The player in the hijack bet 2,500 and both players called.
Everyone checked on the 2♦ turn; however, the player in middle position bet 5,000 on the K♠ river after Hughes checked to him. The hijack then raised to 14,000 and Hughes called cold. The initial bettor folded and Hughes' opponent opted to muck his hand rather than show — conceding the pot to Hughes without a showdown.
