Long Draws First Blood

[user75032]

After trading the antes and bring-in for a few hands, Ron Long and Ryan Hughes finally got involved in a pot to the river. Hughes raised fourth street, showing x-x / {9-Diamonds}

, after Long had bet x-x / {Q-Diamonds}

. Long called.

Hughes had the betting lead on fifth street and sixth street, catching {A-Hearts}

to Long's

. Hughes checked the river, then called after Long bet.

"Two pair," said Long, exposing {10-?}

in the hole for tens and sevens.

"Two pair?" Hughes replied, a little surprised. He took a long look at his own hole cards, then dejectedly threw them into the muck without exposing them.

Ryan Hughes, who remains the chip leader in this event, won a bracelet in stud-8 here a year ago. Confusingly, though, the $1,000 Stud-8 event from a year ago continues this year as this $1,500 event, and Tom Schneider is considered the defending champion. The event that Hughes won a year ago was the $2,000 event, which did not return in 2008. The $3,000 event from a year ago morphed into the $5,000 Championship this year. Clear as mud?

Incidentally, Schneider did not defend his title in this event, as he was still in the $50,000 HORSE event past the registration deadline.
