Aces Up for Hughes
Level 16
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
What initially started as a three-way pot got eventually reduced to a battle between Ryan Hughes and Phil Hui as the other player folded on fifth street where Hughes led out. Hui remained in the contest, calling. Hughes paired his ace on sixth and continued betting, and Hui stuck around with three low cards on his board.
Phil Hui:

Ryan Hughes: /

They made it to showdown, and Hughes announced, "Aces up," rolling over 
for his hole cards. Hui failed to make a low, and he couldn't beat two pair either, ending up scooped.
