Berube Busts Hughes
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 0 ante
As amazing as Ryan Hughes had started, it all came to a crashing end with Rene Berube getting the best of the 2017 WSOP Player of the Year race contender. Berube had already racked up a massive stack and Hughes was left with fewer than 20 big blinds before they headed to the 
turn.
More than 20,000 were in the middle and Berube bet as much, with Hughes in the think tank for his last 11,600. Hughes eventually called it off and they tabled their cards.
Ryan Hughes: 
Rene Berube: 
Hughes needed an ace or five to remain in contention, and the 
on the river was about as blank as it could get.
