Hughes Catches Hernandez Speeding
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
There was over 30,000 in the pot on the board of 3♥6♦5♠9♠ when this hand was picked up. Robert Hernandez bet 8,500 from early position and was raised to 23,500 by Daniel Hughes in middle position. Hernandez gave it some thought before he chose to jam to put Hughes all-in. Hughes did not think long before he committed his remaining stack of 128,000 to be at risk and go to a showdown.
Daniel Hughes: 5♦4♥
Robert Hernandez: K♦Q♥
Hughes had the best of it with a pair and a straight draw, while Hernandez held the overcards.
The 5♥ river improved Hughes to trip fives to score a sizeable double up as it pushed him past 300,000 in chips.
