Hughes Switches to Full-Heart Mode with Blockers
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Big O
Three players made it to a 
flop as Jared Bleznick opened preflop, receiving calls from Phil Hui and Ryan Hughes in the blinds.
Hughes fired 26,000 on the flop and both of his opponents stuck around for a 
turn.
Hughes blasted 88,000, forcing out Bleznick. Hui called to see the river.
The river came 
and Hui checked to Hughes again. Hughes pushed forward a bet of 130,000 and Hui quickly mucked.
Hughes exposed his hand, showing 
for a pair of kings. Hughes capitalized on holding the nut blockers and his aggression worked out.
