Hughes Rivers Three-Quarters Against Ausmus
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jeremy Ausmus opened to 20,000 in middle position and Ryan Hughes called in the small blind.
On the 8♣7♣3♠ flop, Ausmus bet 25,000, Hughes check-raised to 102,000, and Ausmus got his whole stack into the middle, 340,000 along with the 20,000 preflop, and he was at risk against the covering Hughes.
Jeremy Ausmus: A♥10♣4♦2♣
Ryan Hughes: A♠Q♥8♦2♠
Both players flopped the nut low, while Ausmus had a flush draw against the top pair of Hughes.
The 10♥ turn put Ausmus into the lead with top pair, but the 8♠ river gave Hughes trips, and he collected three quarters of the pot.
