Hughes Takes Flight on the River, Sees Opponents' Cards Crash into the Muck
Niveau 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A player in middle position raised to 3,500 and got two callers — one in the small blind and Eric Hughes in the big blind — leading to a 8♣7♠2♣ flop.
Action checked around, and on an A♠ turn and everyone checked again.
When the 3♦ fell on the river, the small blind checked and Hughes tossed out a 7,000 bet. The middle position player called only to see the small blind player come in for a check-raise to 25,000.
Hughes thought briefly before jamming for 112,000 total.
The middle position folded and the small blind followed suit, awarding a pot to Hughes that had suddenly gotten quite big after checking through both the flop and turn.
