Long Draws First Blood

[user75032]

After trading the antes and bring-in for a few hands, Ron Long and Ryan Hughes finally got involved in a pot to the river. Hughes raised fourth street, showing x-x / {9-Diamonds}

, after Long had bet x-x / {Q-Diamonds}

. Long called.

Hughes had the betting lead on fifth street and sixth street, catching {A-Hearts}

to Long's

. Hughes checked the river, then called after Long bet.

"Two pair," said Long, exposing {10-?}

in the hole for tens and sevens.

"Two pair?" Hughes replied, a little surprised. He took a long look at his own hole cards, then dejectedly threw them into the muck without exposing them.

Long Wins Some, Loses Some

[user38368]

Ron Long won a nice pot from Ryan Hughes, but then this happened a few hands later:

Hughes brought it in with the {7-Clubs}

and Long completed.

Long checked the {5-Diamonds}

and Hughes checked the {4-Spades}

on fourth.

On fifth, Long checked the {A-Spades}

and Hughes bet the {5-Hearts}

. Long called.

On sixth, Long checked the {10-Diamonds}

and Hughes bet the {J-Diamonds}

. Long called.

On seventh, Hughes bet and Long called.

Hughes showed {J-Clubs}

and Long mucked.

After these two wild swings up and down, Ron Long settled in at 550,000, leaving 1.082 million for Hughes.

Pots on back-to-back hands were played to the river, and Ron Long won both of them. He took a third without a showdown on the river shortly thereafter.

On the first hand, Long completed with the {A-Diamonds}

. Ryan Hughes, who had brought it in with the {7-Clubs}

, called and then led the betting on every street after pairing {7-Hearts}

on fourth street. Down the river, showing a board of x-x / {A-Diamonds}

, Long raised Hughes' bet. Hughes called with x-x / {7-Clubs}

, only to see Long open {6-Spades}

in the hole for three sixes. That scooped the pot.

The next hand, Hughes brought it in with the {K-Diamonds}

, then raised after Long completed the {A-Hearts}

. Again Long called, then Long himself led the betting all the way through the river. His board came x-x / {A-Hearts}

to Hughes' x-x / {K-Diamonds}

. On the river, Hughes called Long's bet but couldn't beat the pair of aces Long showed when he opened {A-Diamonds}

.

On the third hand, both players started with a jack door card. Long bet all the way as his board developed x-x / {J-Hearts}

. Hughes showed a board of x-x / {J-Clubs}

, calling on every street. When Long bet the river, Hughes showed two kings in the hole and mucked.

With these three pots, Long has erased his chip deficit to Hughes and become the chip leader. Updated chip counts will be published shortly.
