Pansier and Hughes Play for it All

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ryan Hughes opened from the cutoff, Nino Pansier three-bet to 300,000 on the button, and Hughes called.

On the KQ4 flop, Hughes check-potted against Pansier, and Pansier was all-in for his final 1,395,000, and Hughes covered by 20,000.

Nino Pansier: AA52 All in
Ryan Hughes: A10102

Hughes had a gutter with the nut flush draw and backdoor nut low, while Pansier had aces with a worse flush draw and same backdoor low.

The board ran out 79, and aces remained best for the scoop, and the largest pot of the tournament was sent to Pansier.

Hughes got his final 20,000 in the next hand, and he was eliminated.

The tournament has been reduced to its final two tables.
