Robert Dreyfuss Flushes Daniel Hughes
Apr 12, '15
On a flop of K109, Robert Dreyfuss led out for 75,000 out of the small blind and Daniel Hughes moved all in out of the big blind. Dreyfuss went into the tank for a minute before calling off his 386,000 chip stack.
Hughes showed 99, for bottom set and Dreyfuss had lots of outs with his J8, giving him an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw. The turn was the 2 and Dreyfuss took the lead. Hughes needed the board to pair on the river, but the dealer ripped off the 3 on the river to leave Hughes with 20,000 chips.
Dreyfuss doubled up to almost 900,000 and moved into the upper echelon of the chip counts. Hughes was eliminated on the next hand when his 52 couldn’t overcome Matt Newcombe’s 66.
