Hughes Hits the River to Take a Small Pot
Level 14
: 1,500-3,000, 500 ante
Ryan Hughes opened the action with a raise to 7,000 from the cutoff. He was called by the player on the button. Both blinds folded so the two went heads-up to the flop.
The flop came down 
and both players checked to see the 
on the turn. Hughes fired out a bet of 13,000 and the player on the button called.
The river was the 
and both players checked.
"King high," the player on the button announced.
Hughes reluctantly shook his head and turned up his 
for a rivered pair of fives. His opponent turned up 
which was no good and Hughes was able to take down the small pot.
