"Donk" Claims Another KO
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 1,000 ante
Daniel "Donk" Hughes had just sat down at a new table when he introduced himself with a big hand versus Lisa Powers, who was all-in and at risk for approximately 73,000 against Hughes.
Lisa Powers: A♦K♦
Daniel Hughes: A♣A♥
Powers held the best drawing hand in the game, but Hughes had her hand crushed with the best starting hand in pocket aces.
The flop hit Hughes when it came J♦9♥A♠ for a set of aces.
Powers was left hoping for a running straight, but it never materialized on the 8♥ turn or the K♠ river as Hughes continued to build a big stack on Day 1d.
