Hughes Eliminated After "Three Card Monte"
No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Ryan Hughes moved all in for 34,000 from the hijack and got called by Bryan Micon in the cutoff. Paresh Doshi then moved all in for 53,000 in the small blind and Micon called with the potential to eliminate both opponents.
Doshi drew one, Hughes drew one and Micon stood pat.
There was a bit of brief confusion over which cards were correctly slid to the players that the players joked looked like "Three-Card Monte" but once it was ensured that the correct cards had ended up in the correct hands, the hands were revealed.
Bryan Micon: Jx10x7x3x2x
Paresh Doshi: 8x5x3x2x/Xx
Ryan Hughes: 9?7?6?3?/Xx
Micon's pat jack would have to fade a lot. Hughes drew the K?, giving him a flush and sending him to the rail. Meanwhile Doshi pulled a 4x to give him a winning eight-five.
