Hughes Gets Aggressive Then Shows Something Unexpected
Level 27
Alexander Freund raised in the cutoff and got called by Ryan Hughes in the big blind. Hughes drew two, while Friund only needed one card.
Hughes checked to Freund, who bet, but then Hughes came with a check-raise. Freund thought briefly then called.
Hughes still needed to draw one while Freund now stood pat.
Hughes checked again and Freund bet once more, but again, Hughes check-raised. Freund thought for about a minute then chose to release his hand.
As the pot was pushed to Hughes he tossed forward the A♥, which drew oohs and ahhs from his tablemates to force the fold in the manner he did.
