Givens Trips Up Hughes to Double

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Daniel Hughes raised to 3,000 in middle position and Papa Karn called in the hijack. Grant Givens then moved all in for 17,500 in the cutoff and Hughes reshoved for 57,500, chasing away Karn.

Grant Givens: A♦7♦ All in
Daniel Hughes: A♠J♦

Givens was dominated and at risk, but he took the lead on the Q♣7♠5♠ flop with a pair. The 7♣ turn improved him to trips, while the 10♦ fell on the river to give him a double up.
