Hughes Eliminates Spencer
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Daniel Hughes opened to 8,000 from middle position, which led to a call from Brent Spencer in the big blind.
The 7♥10♦7♠ flop resulted in a shove from Spencer for approximately 28,000. Hughes wasted no time making the call, putting Spencer at risk.
Brent Spencer: 9♥8♠
Daniel Hughes: J♠10♠
Spencer held an open-ended straight draw, while Hughes had the best hand with tens up and had the advantage of holding one of Spencer's outs with a jack.
The 3♠ turn was of no use to Spencer, but it gave Hughes a flush draw.
Spencer failed to get there on the K♠ river as Hughes improved to a flush and scored the knockout.
