Hughes Gets the Call
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Derek Stark opened the action with a raise to 8,000 from early position. Daniel Hughes called in the next seat over, and Shaun Emery joined the fray with a call from the small blind.
All three players checked the 9♠K♥2♦ flop.
Emery checked the Q♦ turn before Stark bet 13,000. Hughes called, and Emery folded.
The 4♦ river caused Stark to check, but Hughes was not done putting chips in the pot as he wagered 35,000. Stark went into the tank as he mulled over his decision.
Stark decided on a call and saw the bad news as Hughes hit a flush on the river with A♦8♦.
