Hughes Hits the River Early

donpeters

Marco Traniello limped in from early position. Another player limped from middle position. Ryan Hughes raised to 750 from late position. The big blind called, Traniello folded, and the middle-position limper called.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}

. It was checked to Hughes, who bet out 1,450. The big blind folded and then the middle-position player raised to 4,200. Hughes made the call and the big blind folded.

The turn was the {4-Spades}

. The middle-position player bet 7,500 and Hughes raised him all in. The player snap-called with {K-Hearts}

. Hughes held {Q-Hearts}

and would need the board to pair.

The player that was all in stood up and said, "Don't do it!" But then just like that, BAM! The river hit the {4-Hearts}

, pairing the board and giving Hughes the pot. The player that lost slammed his hat on the floor, packed up his bag, and left.

Hughes is up to 45,000.
