Daniel "Donk" Hughes limped in early position which saw Mark Barrientos call on the button while the small blind called and Jeff Riebeling checked his option in the big blind.
The board ran out 10♥9♠4♥ and action checked over to Hughes who bet 1,000, which Barrientos and Riebeling called.
"Great call guys," Hughes joked as before the turn was dealt.
On the 10♣ turn, action checked to Barrientos who bet 6,000 which only Riebeling called.
Riebeling checked over to Barrientos on the 10♦ river and Barrientos bet 7,000, eliciting a quick fold from Riebeling.
"It was a trapping limp," Hughes said after the hand "but the only person I trapped was myself."
