Hughes Hits the Rail

Michael Sica limps in mid position, followed by Anthony Roux. Ryan Hughes in the cutoff makes it all in for, er, just 1,300. Behind him on the button Kevin Picklesimer makes it 3,600, and both Sica and Roux call.

Sica and Roux check the {8-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {K-Hearts} flop, and then fold when Picklesimer bets 7,000. Now isolated, Hughes' {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades} is well behind Picklesimer's {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}, and a {5-Clubs} turn and {7-Spades} river later, Hughes is history.
