McHugh Picks One Off
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With around 25,000 in the pot on a board of 8♣2♣8♦5♥, Myrddin McHugh bet 15,000 from early position before an opponent on the button moved all in for 36,200. McHugh tanked for a minute, but he eventually called to put his opponent at risk.
The button could only show 4♦4♠, while McHugh was ahead with J♣J♥. The Q♣ fell on the river, and McHugh secured the knockout.
