Monster Pot Goes to Ryan Hughes

Level 8 : 300/600, 150 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

There was already over 32,000 in the pot when we arrived at the table. Ryan Hughes was in the tank as his opponent had moved all in for over 10,000. Players had just completed the second draw. Hughes eventually decided to cut out the chips and he called, then drew one.

"F#@$," his opponent said. Then he drew one.

Hughes showed {7-}{6-}{4-}{2-} while his opponent held {8-}{7-}{3-}{2-}. Hughes turned up a {2-} as his final draw and the other player had a good shot to double up, but he paired with an {8-} on the third draw and he was eliminated from the tournament.

According to Ian O'Hara who was also on the table, the player had stood pat on the previous street and was trying to execute a bluff that failed.

"If he had more chips maybe," Hughes said.

"I should've called," another player at the table said. "I had a pat ten."
