Cung Doubles Through Hughes
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Huan Cung and Daniel Hughes got the chips in preflop with Cung at risk for his tournament life.
Huan Cung: 7♦7♣
Daniel Hughes: A♠10♠
Cung held the lead going into the runout, but the flop created some counterfeit outs as it came 9♦8♠8♥.
The plot continued to thicken when the turn came the J♣ to give Hughes additional outs with a straight.
The K♥ river, however, did not sink Cung as he earned the double up.
