Nichols Doubles Through Hughes
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Christopher Nichols opened to 3,200 from early position before Daniel Hughes upped the price of admission with an all-in from the cutoff. Nichols called for 15,900 effective to be at risk.
Christopher Nichols: A♠8♠
Daniel Hughes: 7♠7♣
Hughes was slightly ahead as they went to a runout, and the flop kept him ahead when it came 3♦4♠2♣, but Nichols gained some outs to a straight in addition to his overcards.
The 8♥ turn improved Nichols to a better pair as the J♥ river completed the board and awarded him the double.
