Hughes Falls at the Final Hurdle
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
As play was wrapping up for the day, Anthony Hughes manoeuvred the remainder of his stack, roughly 14,000, into the middle versus Benjamin Ane.
Anthony Hughes: A♥K♠ 
Benjamin Ane: 7♠7♣
The ace in the window was great news for Hughes, but trouble followed. The full flop revealed A♣7♥4♣, leaving Hughes requiring running cards to stay alive.
The turn 3♣ sealed his fate, and by the time the 9♦ river was flipped over, Hughes was already out of his seat and on his way to the exit.
