Owen Over Hughes

Level 15 : 400/800, 100 ante
Adam Owen
Adam Owen

Adam Owen raised to 2,100 from under the gun and was called by both Taylor Wilson in the cutoff and James Hughes in the big blind.

The flop came {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. Hughes checked, and Owen bet 2,800. Wilson asked how much the bet was and folded, then Hughes made the call. The turn brought the {7-Hearts}. Hughes this time check-called a 10,000 bet from Owen.

The river completed the board with the {9-Spades}. Hughes checked again, and Owen bet 16,500. Hughes tanked and tried to go through his options. After about four minutes, Hughes cut out calling chips, but hesitated. He glanced at his cards once more and then folded.

At 12 noon today, Event #3: #3,000 No-Limit Hold'em SHOOTOUT resumes with 50 players returning to 10 tables. Just one player from each table will make it through to tomorrow's final table.

In total, 363 players entered the event yesterday, spread over 50 tables. Those players created a total prize pool of $980,100. Every player who made it through to today's Day 2 is guaranteed $6,302 for doing so, but all will have their eyes set on that gold WSOP bracelet and the first-place prize of $226,128.
