Ryan Hughes Doubles Thru Lisa Yap

Jan 25, 2011

We missed the action, but observers at the table filled us in on how Ryan Hughes doubled thru chip leader Lisa Yap in a massive pot.

The two were tangling in a pot with the board reading K-Q-X-9 with two diamonds and proceeded to get it all-in.  Yap held K-Q for top two pair, while Hughes showed [Jd10d] for the nut straight and a flush redraw.  The river was a blank and Hughes doubled up to 284,000.  He’s picked up even more pots since then and is now over the 300,000 mark.

Ryan Hughes – 324,000 (162 BBs)
Lisa Yap – 190,000 (95 BBs)
