McHugh Finds a King to Double
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Gorka Akerreta raised to 160,000 in the hijack before Julien Loire three-bet to 900,000 on the button with 10♠10♣. Akerreta folded K♣6♣.
Turlough McHugh then shoved for 450,000 under the gun, and Akerreta called in the big blind.
Turlough McHugh: K♦J♣
Gorka Akerreta: A♠9♦
McHugh took the lead on the K♣6♦2♦ flop with top pair, then held on through the 8♥ turn and 4♥ river to double up.
