Hughes Hero-Calls with Ace-High

With 42 players remaining in Level 15, we witnessed a masterclass in hand reading:

The board reads J♠7♦J♣2♥8♦ with 40,000 in the pot when Diego Gonzales fires a 40,000 bet on the river, but Eric Hughes isn't convinced. After careful deliberation, Hughes makes the soul read, calling with A♣K♥.

Gonzales can't beat Ace-high and promptly mucks his hand, sending the pot to Hughes who now commands a healthy stack of 356K.

Sometimes you just have to trust your reads! The hunt continues with every player looking to build momentum heading into the late stages.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hughes - 356,000
Gonzales - 240,000
