Gardner Holds Against Hughes
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 4,000 ante
This hand was picked up on the flop of 4♥J♦Q♦ with approximately 30,000 in the middle. Robert Gardner bet 17,000 from middle position before Daniel Hughes shoved on the button.
"What are you doing?" asked Gardner as he thought over the spot.
"Wish I could tell you," replied Hughes.
Gardner called and put himself at risk for 151,000.
Rob Gardner: A♥A♣
Daniel Hughes: 10♦7♦
Gardner had the best hand, but he needed to fade some diamonds if he wanted to stay in contention.
The K♥ turn gave Hughes some outs to a straight, but Gardner would fade elimination when the 6♥ hit the river.
"Never folding," said Hughes to Gardner as he collected the chips.
"Obviously I had to have a funeral for my hand before I called," answered Gardner.
